How Noise Causes Heart Disease

Persistent noise in the workplace more than doubles the risk of heart disease, according to Canadian research. With over half a million people exposed to high noise levels at work, this provides a worrying figure, putting thousands at risk.

Simon Bull, leading expert on Noise at Work compliance said, “We have always known that continual noise exposure presents more health risks than just hearing damage, but the level of the risk was not always clear. Seeing this new research certainly should be cause for concern and employers should ensure that their noise control is working properly!”
