Noise is one of the most commonly underestimated dangers to health in the workplace. Often workers in noisy environments can be unaware of the risks of irreversible long term damage. Across Europe approximately 60% of workers exposed to noise in their work environment never, or only occasionally wear hearing protection. Damage goes unnoticed at first because it does not always cause pain. The risk of permanent hearing damage is therefore very high.
