The risk of being affected by hearing damage as a result of exceeding the permissible 8 hours exposure time to continuous 85 dBs in the workplace, was still prevalent up until the 1980s and 90s. Even today, there can still be many employers who are unaware of their responsibilities to protect their workforce from noise induced hearing loss under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations, 2006.
