What do you need to do?
Managing exposure
- The duration of a person's exposure to loud noise is as important as the volume of the noise
To reduce staff exposure to noise:
- Rotate them between noisy and quiet areas
- Rotate then between quiet and noisy shifts
- Provide regular 'quiet breaks' and periods working in quiet areas
- Tell them why you need to do this
