Abstract |
The SUMER 2003 survey in France (see CIS 95-161) showed that close to a third of all workers are exposed to noise. Some 7% of all employees are exposed to harmful noise levels, and 25% to other types of noise while being less of a health hazard nonetheless have an impact. Industrial and construction workers are the most affected, however these sectors are those that generally provide acoustic protection. Employees exposed to harmful noise levels at work have a more stressful form of work organization than other employees and are also more exposed to other physical hazards. |
