How nudge theory supports behaviour-based safety that protects against hearing loss
Occupational noise-induced hearing (NIHL) loss is a significant health issue that impacts workers across many industries; manufacturing, aerospace, utilities, construction, forestry, etc.
International regulations and mature hearing conservation/hearing loss prevention programs are firmly embedded into industrial safety policy, so why does NIHL remain such a common affliction worldwide?
A growing number of companies are looking to introduce behaviour-based safety strategies that motivate and engage workers to achieve higher levels of safe operations.
This whitepaper looks at how a data-driven digital system can use simple nudge techniques to warn end-users when to take action to reduce their personal risk of hearing damage due to exposure to noise at work.
