Have you been in a position where you’ve encountered something at your workplace that you deemed dangerous? It could be a cord stretched across a high traffic area or obstructions in a stairwell. There could be a burning smell in the elevator or electrical equipment in the staff break room that keeps shorting out. Essential equipment like evacuation sirens or nurse call triggers might have lost connection to the rest of the emergency alert system.

Hearing protection is crucial for workers in loud environments to prevent hearing loss, a common occupational hazard. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent hearing damage, and workers from certain industries such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation are particularly vulnerable due to their noisy operations.
