Workplace Noise Increases Hearing Loss Risks
Did you know repeated exposure to noise levels above 85 dB can cause irreversible damage over time?
Many food production facilities, factories and distribution warehouses regularly operate at or above that threshold for long stretches of time. Equipment like conveyor systems, forklifts, industrial mixers, bottling machinery and loading dock equipment create constant background noise. Even if the noise levels don't seem extremely loud in the moment, prolonged exposure to noise on a regular basis can still put workers at risk over time.
Hearing loss often happens gradually and might not be noticeable at first, which is why it’s important to test your hearing early and often!
