Occupational Noise Exposure Among Grass Cutter Workers in UiTM Shah Alam

Abstract

Occupational noise exposure is a major health concern among workers in high-noise environments, including those involved in outdoor grass cutting activities. Grass cutter workers, often operating without hearing protection, are exposed to machinery that can generate dangerously high noise levels. This study aimed to assess the personal and environmental noise exposure of grass cutter workers in UiTM Shah Alam (Zone 2), evaluate their compliance with regulatory limits under Occupational Safety (Noise Exposure) Regulation 2019, and explore their awareness and preventive practices.
