Background
nHeadphone-sound
risk rarely taken into account
nLarge
number of workers subjected to this risk
nMany of
them do complain about the problem
nThe
risk of hearing loss appears to be directly connected with the occupational profile of these workers,
and consequently the employee is responsible of it
Details :
nRisk assessment by
advanced measurements techniques based on the usage of a
mannequin (dummy head with binaural microphones)
nProper
post-processing ensures that the noise exposure of the workers is evaluated
wit the same rating as other “normal” types of occupational
noise, which are measured far from the body of the worker.
