Assessing Noise Exposure at Construction Industry in Selangor

Abstract

In the construction sector, occupational noise exposure poses a serious risk to health since it can result in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and other conditions. The study is to map out the noise levels at a construction site in Bukit Jelutong, Selangor, analyse worker personal noise exposure, and measure the noise levels linked with construction operations and machines. High noise levels in the construction business are well-known, and they endanger the hearing and general health of workers. The application of noise management techniques is frequently insufficient, even in the face of rules and laws. It cites research showing how common NIHL is among construction workers and how better noise control is required.
