This document discusses reducing hearing damage from noise at construction sites. It identifies common loud tools and background noise that can harm workers' hearing. The risks include temporary or permanent hearing loss. To address this, the company implemented policies for purchasing quieter tools, maintaining equipment well, training workers, and providing personal protective equipment like hearing protection. These measures helped extend equipment lifespan, reduce noise levels over time, and lower hearing damage risks from all site noise sources. The long-term benefits of implementing these policies outweighed the initial costs.
