1. Introduction to Noise Hazards
Definition and Sources: Noise hazards in our workplace primarily stem from machinery such as the X500 press machine and the high-speed conveyor systems in the packing area.
Types of Noise: Employees will encounter continuous noise in the production line and impact noises near the metal forging section.
2. Health Implications
Hearing Loss: Prolonged exposure above 85 dB, like near the T3 compressor, can lead to permanent hearing loss within 6 months.
Other Health Effects: Stress levels reported by staff in high-noise zones like the stamping area have been 30% higher than average.
3. Legal Requirements and Standards
OSHA Regulations: Our permissible exposure limit is set at 82 dB for an 8-hour shift, stricter than OSHA’s 85 dB limit.
Company Policies: Our policy mandates a noise assessment every three months, exceeding the annual requirement by OSHA.
