“…Direct effects include hearing impairments that may lead to complete hearing loss [13], while indirect effects are backache, nervousness, annoyance, nausea, carelessness, and increased risk of accidents [14,15]. Several field of investigations for industry workers have established the strong association between high levels of exposure to noise and the risk of occupational accidents and injuries [14,[16][17][18].…”

“…Noise in the work environment can affect individuals' safety and efficacy, and thus, may lead to accidents in the workplace. Communication problems, failure to maintain alertness and concentration, and stress and fatigue increase in individuals who are exposed to noise (9)(10)(11)(12). Hearing loss is the most important noise-induced disorder, although noise-induced hearing loss is preventable.…”

“…Some epidemiological studies have shown an increase in the blood pressure as a result of exposure to chronic noise (Ni et al 2007;Stansfeld and Matheson 2003). Most evidence suggests that the blue-collar workers exposed to sound level equal to (L eq 8 h ≥ 80 dB (A)), have a greater risk for accidents (Picard et al 2008). Also, according to statistics published in the USA, 11 million Americans are exposed to sound levels with damaging potential.…”
