Protecting from exposure to noise
- Protecting against exposure to noise
Description
Protecting from exposure to noise involves implementing measures to reduce or eliminate harmful sound levels in environments where people live or work. Essential actions include enforcing noise regulations, using soundproofing materials, promoting the use of personal protective equipment, and designing urban spaces to minimize noise pollution. These strategies aim to prevent hearing loss, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being by addressing specific sources of excessive noise and ensuring safer, healthier surroundings.
Claim
There are very large scale public sites and establishments becoming redundant (military bases are one example). These could be designated and managed as permanent "rave" venues (for pop concerts, festivals and the like), saving other areas from loud noise and reducing the need for police management of special events.
