'Use hearing protection' mandatory action sign according to the DIN 4844-2 Standard

Exposure to high levels of noise, either continuously or as a loud sudden ‘bang’ from equipment such as cartridge-operated tools or guns, can have a number of physiological and psychological effects on workers. This may include stress, tinnitus and if exposed to high noise levels over long periods of time, permanent loss of hearing can occur.  High noise levels can also interfere with communications in the workplace, leading to an increased risk of accidents.

Employers are legally obliged to inform their workers and their representatives:
  • that the noise level is likely to exceed 85 dBA and of the potential risk of damage to hearing
  • about the measurements taken of the noise levels and an explanation of the significance of the results
  • about what is being done to reduce the noise levels
