Noise is defined by the intensity of the vibrations it produces in the air (Decibels) and by the frequency per second of the vibrations (Hertz).
Noise is considered a health hazard when workers are exposed daily to average levels of 85 decibels. Noise is one of the most common occupational hazards.
It has been proven that discontinuous noise is more harmful than continuous noise. The importance of the issue centers on the fact that obviously healthy individuals may be at risk of contracting a disease in the workplace.
While hearing loss evolves very insidiously and its early detection is difficult because the symptoms with which it begins are extremely ambiguous, the solution in most cases to exposure to hazardous noise in the workplace is technically feasible by applying new technologies or remodeling the space where the noise is produced.
But all too often nothing is done.
