International Noise Awareness Day
Once each year we recognize International Noise Awareness Day, this is designed to promote awareness of the dangers of long-term exposure to noise. Last year on April 28 businesses discussed with their employee's hidden danger to our hearing in our everyday lifes . We are often unaware of just how loud the things we encounter each day are. Consider the decibel levels of these common noise sources:Washing machine: 50 to 75 dBANormal conversation: 60 dBAVacuum cleaner: 60 to 85 dBAFreeway traffic: 70 dBAGarbage disposal: 80 to 95 dBACar horn: 110 dBASqueaky toy held close to ear: 110 dBA
Industrial Hearing Service cares about your employee’s occupational and non-occupational hearing health.
