Abstract

Background & Objectives: Noise is a common harmful physical agent and a major occupational risk factor. Thus, various measures, including the use of HEARING PROTECTION DEVICES (HPDs), are taken to reduce noise exposure in the workplace. The present study sought to evaluate workers’ perception of the risk caused by INDUSTRIAL NOISE and the use of HPDs.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in five industrial plants with sound pressure levels above 85 dB-A. A total of 340 workers were asked to complete an individual RISK PERCEPTION scale as well as a researcher-made questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha and regression analysis.Results: While most participants (50.40%) sometimes used HPDs, about one-third of the workers (31.58%) never utilized these devices. The remaining 18.02% always wore HPDs. There were significant relations between individual characteristics and the frequency of wearing HPDs.Conclusion: The results of this study suggested individual perception of risk as an important factor in predicting workers’ tendency to use HPDs. It should hence be considered in the design and implementation of hearing protection programs.
