Sounds of the Season

Some of the most familiar sounds of season – sporting events (117 dB), rock concerts (120 dB), motorcycles (105 dB), chainsaws (118 dB), lawnmowers (94 dB) and power tools (93 dB) – can generate as much (or even more) noise than the typical workplace, where an array of regulations and hearing protection help workers avoid noise-induced hearing loss. If your workers are exposed to loud noises on or off the job, contact our noise consultants at The Windsor Consulting Group, Inc. to evaluate the exposure and recommend corrective action.
