USL&H Industry – Noise Exposure
Being around boats, barges, and marinas can make for noisy work! From boat engines to heavy repair equipment, workers in these industries are frequently exposed to loud or consistent noise. Overtime, this can lead to hearing damage, especially if workers don’t take proper precautions to protect themselves.
Hearing loss may be partial or minor, but can also be serious or permanent, leading to a need for major life changes. Additionally, exposure to frequent loud noises can also increase the risk of other health issues, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Loud workplace environments may also hinder communication among workers. This to an increased risk of other workplace injuries, like slip-and-falls, crushing injuries, or machinery accidents.
