Noise and ergonomics in the workplace: Lunch & Learn event

Noise in the workplace has a negative impact on ergonomic conditions. Increased noise increases stress and fatigue for workers, which can lead to incorrect working positions. Poor ergonomic habits caused by noise increase the risk of injuries and long-term health problems.

Creating a quieter working environment improves concentration, reduces stress and promotes proper ergonomics. Within the framework of customer input requirements and legislation, the noise performance of the equipment is key.

Noise is often an underestimated environmental factor by manufacturers and is often only addressed when equipment is handed over to customers or during technical inspection. A better solution is to prevent excessive noise from occurring during the design and manufacture of the production equipment, rather than to reduce noise later in the customer’s production area, which can prolong the project handover date.

Excessive noise interferes with the concentration and psychological well-being of workers and, when it exceeds certain levels, can affect their health and cause financial losses to the operator. Preventing excessive noise in the design of the plant is better than dealing with the problem later in the production area.
