Abstract |
The introduction to this information sheet contains remarks on noise evaluation and on Swiss law concerning the prevention of hearing damage due to workplace noise. Most of the booklet is devoted to a description of various types of personal hearing protection to be worn (technical data, conditions for use), a study of the effects of wearing hearing protection on speech communication, and recommendations concerning the introduction of hearing protection (personal information, period of adaptation before becoming accustomed to wearing protection). Individual objections to wearing personal hearing protection are analysed in the last chapter. Spanish translation published in "Notas y documentos sobre prevención de riesgos profesionales", 148, 4° trimestre 1984, p.11-22. |
