Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reports high noise levels in construction workers, indicating significant hearing loss risks.

Key Points

  • Hearing loss risks are evident, as 100% of worker groups face elevated levels of noise exposure.
  • 77.8% of monitored workers recorded average noise levels exceeding the ISO/NIOSH limit of 85dBA.
  • The peak noise levels from construction equipment surpassed the limit by 35.7dBA to 57.6dBA.
  • Improved machinery and enforced use of personal protective equipment could help mitigate these risks.
