The world is a very loud place, and city dwellers are unwittingly exposed to more noise than they realize! The average noise levels in urban and suburban environments range from 50 to 70 decibels (dBA), while noise levels near construction zones and highways typically range between 80 and 110 dBA. According to the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), sustained exposure to 85 dBA or higher can cause permanent hearing loss. Business owners and managers have an obligation to protect their employees from all potential workplace hazards, and that’s where our team at National Custom Hollow Metal comes in!
