Question 1

Describe the legal steps an employer/HRM must take to control hazardous noise in the workplace.What is the most effective noise control method?

Accepted Answer

An employer/HRM will want to use the source-path-human strategies to control hazardous noise in the workplace.The best method for dealing with noise in the workplace is to reduce noise at the source.If a worker is exposed to noise above the legal noise exposure limit,the employer must,perhaps with the help of experts,investigate and implement engineered noise-control options to reduce the noise exposure of workers below the recommended exposure limits,if possible.If it is not possible to reduce noise levels,the employer must reduce noise exposure to the lowest level possible,post warning signs in the noise hazard areas (workers in a posted noise hazard area must wear hearing protection),provide affected workers hearing protection that meets the legal standards,and ensure that hearing protection is worn effectively in noise hazard areas.This last strategy of using personal protective equipment is less costly but not always the most effective.
