Every year, thousands of people face preventable risks of hearing loss due to excessive noise in the workplace, and especially farm/agricultural workers, who are among the most at-risk groups of employees. Noise-induced hearing loss does not discriminate by age, either, and even younger workers can suffer from permanent effects.
Here are some ways in which employers can work to mitigate these risks, primarily through proper equipment-maintenance:- Regular maintenance, including parts replacement and lubrication, can reduce friction and prevent parts from becoming loose or unbalanced, which contributes to noise.
- Operating larger engines at lower speeds can reduce noise caused by vibration.
- Vibration-isolation pads can be placed under the legs of equipment to reduce noise
- Flexible mountings on leaf blowers and chainsaws can reduce vibration-noise.
- Tight-fitting and sound-reducing cab doors on skid-steers and tractors can reduce noise.
- Acoustical materials in walls and ceilings can help to enclose noise.
