Relation of Work and Noise Induced Hearing Loss

According to the research, there are many occupations make workers exposed to a loud noisy workplace for a long time which is easily causing hearing damage without consciousness. Manufacturing, construction, carpentry and mining, motorcycle courier, entertainment and nightlife, airport staff and shooting range marshals are the six top noisiest jobs.

 

When a person is exposed to loud noise over a long period of time, symptoms of NIHL (Noise-Induced Hearing Loss) will increase gradually. The sounds a person hears may become distorted or muffled in the long run, and it is potentially difficult for the person to understand speech. Even though someone with NIHL is likely not even aware of the loss, it can be detected with a hearing test.

 

It is always better to prevent rather than cure so choosing a correct protection is what you should do before exposing to a noisy workplace. These methods should be taken in a hierarchical order: Assessment of exposure, using tools and equipments which generate a lower level of noise, regular segregation and insulation, appropriate work practices and personal protection such as ear muffs and ear plugs. So far, many companies now establish a routine audiometry program to avoid increasing number of workers with NIHL.

 

At a personal level it is possible to protect the ears with ear muffs or ear plugs. If you must work in an excessively noisy environment, wearing protectors is necessary. You should also wear them when you are using power tools, noisy yard equipment, or firearms.

It seems a secure and efficient way instead of carrying them all the time. However, there is a video about a man who presents how easy it is to open hotel save. This video has been circulating on the internet with over 1 million hits. The video posted by consultant Skyrangerpro while he was on a trip in Markham, Ontario (hotel name not specified). He suggests that your hotel safe may not be as secure as you think because it can be opened with both your password and the default code of all zeroes.

  

In order to prove the truth, a journalist visited a hotel for interview. The spokesman of hotel admitted that each hotel save have a universal password for preventing locked permanently. However, they change the universal password trimonthly and only particular people such as resident manager know the password.

 

The situation presented by the video can be seen that the hotel did not put attention to their hotel save, thus it can be opened easily with all zero. In fact, even the video has click-through rate, many people still believe it can not represent all the hotel saves in different hotels. Here are some comments as follow.

Guys... guys... it's not the safe makers who are at fault here. This video doesn't prove all safes are unsafe. This simply tells us one thing we already know: companies who buy these things can set a default universal password to prevent people from locking their safes permanently. It's just that THIS PARTICULAR HOTEL was retarded enough to have it be all zeroes.

it was an example

 

To sum up, the best way to do is keep your value belongings with you especially passport when you are in a foreign country. Also prevent to bring something value like jewelry or expensive accessories. After all these are not the essential articles for enjoy your holiday.
