Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a major compensable occupational disease in Malaysia which involves substantial economic burden. Exposure to excessive noise also entails largely unrecognized costs to organizations by way of increased employee turnover and absenteeism, lowered performance and possible contribution to accidents. The social handicaps of occupational noise-related hearing disorders (ONRHD) are severe to the affected individual.
Identification of excessive noise in a place of work enables employers to identify employees who may be exposed to excessive noise so that their exposures can be assessed. When excessive noise exists in the place of work, noise risk assessment shall be conducted. The objectives of noise risk assessment are to:
Identify all employees likely to be exposed to excessive noise
Obtain information on noise sources and work practices that will help in the formulation of new measures that shall be taken to reduce noise
Check the effectiveness of existing measures taken to reduce noise exposure
Help in the selection of appropriate PHP
Demarcate hearing protection zones
Determine the need for establishing and implementing HCP.
Noise risk assessment consists of area and personal monitoring.
