According to a recent study, a noisy work environment has bad effects on people over the age of 50. The stress that is experienced from a noisy work environment has horrible effects on a person’s health. The noise can stress a worker out which clogs arteries causing angina, coronary heart disease and hypertension. In the US 17.2 percent of workers experience noisy work environments and have health problems because of it.
Conclusion:
I think that if the environment gets too noisy then there should be a way of protecting workers’ ears so that they won’t be as stressed and less likely for having heart conditions. I think it is the company’s responsibility to protect their workers by ensuring a healthy work environment.
