Abstract |
This programme was organised jointly by plant physicians, safety engineers and industrial hygienists in the Ford works at Cologne. It was preceded by an overall survey of the noise situation in the plant. The article comments on the results of noise monitoring and the overall noise situation as it appears from noise charts, and then discusses the various measures proposed in the programme: medical (early detection of hearing impairment by audiometry), individual (admission to employment, hearing protection), technical and administrative. Examples of measures taken in specific areas. Reluctance to wear ear protectors is attributed to the fact that loss of hearing does not happen all of a sudden, but gradually and insidiously. |
