This toolbox talk explains how to control noise on construction and industrial sites. It outlines common noise hazards from compressors, breakers, circular saws, generators, vibrating rollers and excavators, and how nearby workers can be affected. Practical controls include choosing quieter processes, keeping compressor covers closed, fitting breaker mufflers, avoiding unnecessary idling, shielding noise sources, and increasing distance from the work area. It also details correct ear protection: selecting and fitting ear plugs, cleaning reusable plugs, using disposables once, and properly wearing and maintaining ear defenders to prevent hearing loss.
