7.3 Communication in Noisy Environments

Implementation and Behaviour

  • What it is: Standard hearing protection can make communication difficult in noisy environments.
  • This can lead to workers removing their protection to speak or hear, exposing them to noise.
  • Best Practice: Consider the use of level-dependent or communication-enabled hearing protection.

What it is: Standard hearing protection can make communication difficult in noisy environments. This can lead to workers removing their protection to speak or hear, exposing them to noise.

Best Practice: Consider the use of level-dependent or communication-enabled hearing protection. These devices use electronics to allow speech and other important sounds to be heard while still protecting against harmful noise.
