Manufacturing Industry – Noise Exposure Risks
While working in the manufacturing industry, your clients might be exposed to frequent loud noises. This can lead to noise exposure injuries, which can be the result of risks like:
- Heavy machinery, such as lathes or grinding machines
- Power tools, like saws or drills
- Conveyor systems
- Assembly line operations
While equipment and machinery like these are often part of the job in the manufacturing industry, frequent or intense exposure to loud machinery or other loud noises can lead to serious noise exposure injuries. For your clients in the manufacturing industry, some of the most common types of noise exposure injuries include:
- Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)
- Tinnitus
- Noise-related stress, which can lead to sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression
- Cardiovascular problems, which can be complicated or exacerbated by prolonged noise exposure
Additionally, noisy environments can increase the risk of other workplace accidents. For example, if a manufacturing industry worker might not be able to properly communicate warnings about a slip-and-fall risk due to a loud environment, leading to injuries from a slip-and-fall.
