This seminar discusses the critical issue of noise-induced hearing loss, explaining its significant impact on quality of life, communication, and overall health, with potential links to stress, dementia, and heart disease.
HSE Inspector Paul Delderfield emphasises that current approaches to hearing protection are inadequate, with most workplaces relying solely on personal protective equipment (PPE) that is often improperly used, and outlines the HSE's new intervention plan to gather data, focus on hearing protection as an interim measure, and ultimately drive improvements in noise control and worker protection.
