    Study Notes

    • High noise levels can distract workers, making it difficult for them to listen and understand instructions correctly.
    • High noise levels can mask the sound of approaching danger and warning signals.
    • High noise levels can irritate and annoy workers, leading to human error.

    Radiation

    • Radiation has significant long-term effects and can cause death in some cases.
    • Radiation sources include equipment, radioactive substances, particles in the air, food, sunlight, and lamps.

    Sound

    • Over one million workers are exposed to levels of noise that put their hearing at risk.
    • Continuous exposure to excessive noise at work results in 17% of the workforce suffering from hearing loss, tinnitus, or other hearing-related conditions.
    • Health effects of noise include tinnitus, noise-induced hearing loss, effects on pregnancy, and physiological effects.

    Vibration

    • Prolonged exposure to high levels of vibration can have adverse health effects, including hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) and whole-body vibration (WBV) effects on the spine.
    • Vibration is related to noise waves and can cause body tissues and organs to absorb energy, leading to muscle contraction and joint wear.
