| Abstract |
Eliminating or reducing excessive noise at work is not simply a legal responsibility for employers; it is also in an organisation's commercial interests. This fact sheet outlines the main steps that should be taken to reduce and control noise at work (elimination of the noise source, control of noise at the source, collective control measures, supply of personal protective equipment, information and training of personnel, monitoring, workers' participation). It is also available in Czech, Danish, French, German, Spanish, Estonian, Greek, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Slovak, Finnish and Swedish (see http://agency.osha.eu.int/publications/factsheets/). |
