A silent hazard—noise in the veterinary sector: a scoping review

Key Points

To investigate the noise hazards in the veterinary sector and identify strategies for reducing exposure.
Conducted a scoping review on existing literature regarding noise in veterinary settings.
Analyzed various studies related to occupational noise exposure and its effects.
Evaluated the awareness of veterinary workers on noise-related risks.
Identified significant hazards posed by noise in veterinary environments.
Highlighted the lack of awareness among workers regarding noise exposure risks.
Suggested potential strategies for minimizing noise levels in veterinary practice.

Abstract

Noise is a hazard of importance in the veterinary sector, and further research is needed to ensure that veterinary workers are aware of the risks associated with occupational noise exposure, including what strategies can be implemented to reduce noise exposures.
