Hazards caused by
noise
■ Excessive noise levels in con-
junction with insufficient hearing
protection may lead to perma-
nent hearing damage, hearing
loss and other problems, such
as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in your
ears). Therefore it is essential
that a risk assessment should be
carried out in respect of these
risks and to implement appro-
priate regulatory mechanisms.
■ Suitable regulatory mechanisms
include measures such as the
use of insulation materials to
avoid ringing noises occurring
on the workpieces.
■ Use ear muffs as per the
instructions provided by your
employer or as required by
health and safety regulations.
■ The mini die grinder is to be
operated and maintained in
accordance with the rec-
ommendations contained in
this manual to reduce any
unnecessary increase of the
noise levels.
