Reduce Noise Pollution on Your Site with the BIGBEN Sound Blocker Barriers
In a recent survey, it was reported that 51% of all workers within construction have been exposed to hazardous noise, with 14% of these workers reported to have hearing difficulty. It was also noted that out of 765 cases that were recorded between 2013 and 2022, only five of these were women, with a whopping 760 cases being men. As well as this, construction has been voted as the fifth noisiest job in the U.K. in a report taken last year. It must be considered that construction work undertaken on a construction site not only impacts the workers but also the members of the public who pass the site daily. Urgent Need for Action.

It’s time to act now, act fast, and act together to curb these statistics for the benefit of future generations of workers.
