Occupational Noise Hazards for Tradies
Did you know that Construction workers are among the most affected by industrial deafness? Safe Work Australia research shows that the construction industry is the third noisiest industry sector.
Many of the workers are surprised at this result, particularly when they may have considered it to be a ‘Quiet’ Day during which they only conducted the occasional noisy activity. However the meaning of a ‘Quiet’ Day to a Tradie is somewhat different to somebody who works in an Office.
Are you at risk?
If the noise around you makes it necessary for you to raise your voice to make yourself heard to somebody one metre away, your hearing is probably at risk. Repeated exposure to excessive noise will eventually lead to permanent damage.
The tools and equipment that pose a risk of noise induced hearing loss include:
Circular Saws
Piling hammers
Concrete breakers
Manual hammers
Nail Guns
