According to the CDC, 14% of all construction workers have considerable hearing difficulty because of jobrelated noise. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) sets a boundary of 85 decibels (dBA)—the units used to measure sound intensity—as the recommended occupational exposure limit.

Hörbarer Schall, der als negativ empfunden wird, wird als Lärm bezeichnet. Lärm kann auf Menschen störend, psychisch und körperlich belastend, und bei stärkerer Intensität gehörschädigend wirken. Eine geräuschbedingte Einschränkung der Sprachverständigung oder der Signalwahrnehmung kann zusätzlich zu Unfallgefährdungen führen.

Table 1 shows the adjusted noise exposure limit for extended shifts using the 85 dB and 90 dBcriterion level. For example, from the table, a person working a 12hour shift in a jurisdiction that has an occupational exposure limit of 85 dB (A) and exchange rate of 3 dB would have an adjusted exposure limit of dB (A).
