Risks due to noise

Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insufficient hearing
protection may lead to permanent hearing damage, hearing loss
and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling
or humming in your ears) . It is essential that a risk assessment is
carried out with respect to these risks and that appropriate regu-
latory mechanisms are implemented .
■
Suitable regulatory mechanisms include measures such as the
use of insulation materials to avoid ringing noise occurring on the
workpieces .
■
Use ear protection as per the instructions provided by your em-
ployer or as required by health and safety regulations .
■

cordance with the recommendations contained in this manual to
reduce any unnecessary increase of the noise levels .
■
Consumables/machine tools should be selected, maintained and
replaced in accordance with the recommendations in this guide
in order to avoid unnecessary increase of the noise levels .
