Employees Wearing Headsets Are at Risk
Noise overexposure in the workplace can occur where employees wear a earphone or headphones as part of their employment.
Clerical personnel, aircraft pilots and other cockpit personnel, air traffic controllers, emergency personnel, reservation clerks, receptionists, and telephone operators are just a few examples of the more than three million workers who can be exposed to high noise levels via communication's headsets.
