Fraction of acute work-related injuries attributable to hazardous occupational noise across the USA in 2019

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2021
Introduction The contribution of hazardous noise—a ubiquitous exposure in workplaces—to occupational injury risk is often overlooked. In this ecological study, the fraction of US workplace acute injuries resulting in days away from work in 2019 ...

Occupational noise in printing companies

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2010
The extent of noise in five printing companies in Novi Sad, Serbia, was determined using TES-1358A Sound Analyzer with RS-232 Interface. The data on equivalent A-level (dBA), as well as, maximum and minimum sound pressure levels were collected. It was found that folders and offset printing units are the predominant noise sources, with the average L (eq)

Priorities for occupational noise in Britain

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2021
Regulation of occupational exposure to noise in Britain for 50 years has reduced risk. However, statistics from around the globe (and in Britain alone) suggest that the range in harm is between around zero and more than 1 in 4 workers exposed to high noise. The uncertainty in statistics and the potential high incidence and prevalence of harm justifies

The Critical Intensity for Occupational Noise

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1980
Decades of medical examinations have shown that large-scale risks of hearing defects exist not only from 90 dB(A) upwards, but even from 85 dB(A) upwards. This experience is confirmed by the analysis of 25,000 tone threshold audiograms and by the results of experimental hearing fatigue tests.

Occupational Noise Exposure and the Risk of Hypertension

Epidemiology, 2013
Noise may increase the risk of hypertension, but findings are inconsistent with respect to both community and occupational noise exposure. We used a large sample of noise-exposed industrial trades to analyze the association of occupational noise exposure and the risk of hypertension.The 7-year prospective cohort study included 145,190 workers from 625 ...

Occupational Noise Exposure in the Printing Industry

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1988
The noise exposures of 274 printing production workers in 34 establishments in the New York city area were monitored. Results showed that 43% were exposed to 8-hr time-weighted average (TWA) noise exposures of 85 dBA or greater and that 14% were exposed to 8-hr TWAs of 90 dBA or greater.

Association of occupational noise exposure, bilateral hearing loss with hypertension among Chinese workers.

Journal of Hypertension, 2020
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship of occupational noise, bilateral hearing loss with blood pressure and hypertension among a Chinese population. METHODS We included 15 422 individuals from a cross-sectional survey of the key occupational diseases ...

Occupational noise in urban buses

International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2006
Abstract The noise level environment for Brazilian urban bus drivers (city of Curitiba) was examined. Noise levels were measured in 3 types of buses: (1) bi-articulated, (2) speedy, and (3) feeder, 20 buses of each type. Bi-articulated buses are formed by three cars and two hinges, and operate in exclusive lanes, where cars are not allowed. They stop

Occupational noise exposure and blood pressure

Journal of Hypertension, 1994
To investigate the relationship between occupational noise exposure and blood pressure.We studied 8811 workers at a metallurgical factory, who were exposed to different levels of noise at the worksite: < or = 80 dB for 8078 workers and > 80 dB for 733 workers. A clinical examination, including measurements of blood pressure (by mercury sphygmomanometer,
