| Noise-induced Deafness Prevention Programme |
Noise-induced deafness (NID) is a leading type of occupational disease (OD) contributing to 81% of OD in 2007. The WSH Council has a five-year Noise-induced Deafness Prevention Programme in place to raise awareness on hearing conservation. An area of focus is on workplaces which have a high incidence of NID cases. If your workplace deals with operations that require noise hazard management, you need to protect your sense of hearing.
