Hazard	Noise Exposure

Assessment Overview:

This assessment evaluates the potential risk associated with noise exposure in the workplace of FutureTech Innovations. The evaluation is based on the Likert Scale, ranging from 1 (Very Low Risk) to 5 (Very High Risk).

Factor	Description	Risk Level (1-5)	Mitigation Measures
Duration of Exposure	The length of time employees are exposed to noise daily.	3	Implement scheduled breaks in noise-intensive areas.
Noise Intensity	Measured in decibels (dB), the level of noise in the area.		Use of sound dampening materials and equipment.
Proximity to Source	Distance of workers from the noise source.		Rearrange workspace to increase distance from source.
Use of Protective Gear	Availability and usage of personal protective equipment.		Regular training and supply of ear protection gear.
Frequency of Exposure	How often employees are exposed to high noise levels.		Rotate employees to reduce continuous exposure.
Employee Awareness	Understanding of risks associated with noise exposure.		Conduct regular safety training sessions.

Risk Level Guide:

Very Low Risk: Minimal or no impact on health and safety.

Low Risk: Slight potential for negative health impact.

Moderate Risk: Noticeable impact, control measures required.

High Risk: Significant impact, immediate action required.

Very High Risk: Extreme impact, may cause permanent damage.

Assessment Findings:

1. Duration of Exposure: Employees are exposed to noise for approximately 4 hours per day. (Moderate Risk)

2. Noise Intensity: Noise levels average at 85 dB, peaking at 95 dB in certain areas. (High Risk)

3. Proximity to Source: Most employees work at a safe distance, but some are within 5 meters of high-noise machinery. (Low Risk)

4. Use of Protective Gear: Ear protection is available but not consistently used by all employees. (Very High Risk)

5. Frequency of Exposure: Employees in the production area are exposed to high noise levels daily. (Moderate Risk)

6. Employee Awareness: Some employees are not fully aware of the risks associated with noise exposure. (Low Risk)

Overall Risk Rating:

Moderate to High Risk

Recommendations:

1. Enforce mandatory use of ear protection in designated high-noise areas.

2. Increase the frequency of safety training, focusing on the importance of hearing protection.

3. Explore quieter machinery or sound-dampening technologies for high-risk areas.

4. Regularly monitor noise levels and employee compliance with safety measures.
