Hearing loss is an issue that many
people have to face at some point in their life. Research has shown that 50% of the population will suffer from some form of deafness in their life
time. There are many causes and natural hearing loss due to age is the most common. This being said though, there are many
people mistaking noise induced hearing loss caused by their
work for this. Your employer has a legal obligation to protect your hearing and if they don't they are liable to claims of compensation. Unfortunately there are many
people who are not aware of the risks and unknowingly develop issues due to noisy environments.
Deal with the noise at source. This should be the first action taken as it prevents workers from being exposed to noise at all. It can be achieved by purchasing new machinery, avoiding metal on metal contact, lubricant, sound proofing and moving staff or equipment away from each other.
