results the mean age and work experience of workers were 31.39 ± 5.6 and 4.35 ± 2.5 years, respectively. among the exposed-to-noise personnel, 7.35% used hpds constantly; 75% used hpds for only short periods of time (less than four hours) and 17.65% did not make use of them at all. regarding the sound intensity and the level of noise reduction of hpds, among the 112 workers who used such device...

Introduction of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the process of quantitative exposure and risk assessment should be addressed carefully. PPE which have been designed and manufactured according to CE-criteria and have proved to pass relevant test criteria, can be classified as "proper functioning". However, test criteria for PPE are not equal to levels of protection which can be achieved i...
This study uses the contingent valuation method to elicit individuals' preferences for their own and others' safety in road-traffic. Whereas one group is asked about a private safety device for themselves, other groups are asked about safety devices for their children, household, relatives and the public. Support is found for the hypothesis that individuals are not purely selfish when it comes ...
BACKGROUND Many unintentional injuries that occur in and around the home can be prevented through the use of safety equipment and by consistently following existing safety recommendations. Unfortunately, uptake of these safety behaviors is unacceptably low. This paper describes the design of the Make Safe Happen® smartphone application evaluation study, which aims to evaluate a mobile technolog...

The British Standards Institution 'Guide to implementing an effective respiratory protective device programme' (BS 4275) lists assigned protection factors (APFs) for various types of respiratory protective equipment (RPE). The APFs were allocated either on the basis of available workplace studies data which met set criteria or on the basis of professional judgement that there is equivalence bet...
In EARLogs1 #1 and #2 we have demonstrated and discussed the fact that hearing protective devices (HPDs) reduce user sound exposures when properly worn. This means that all sounds may be attenuated, both unwanted sounds (noise) and useful sounds such as speech and warning signals. Thus wearing HPDs may affect speech discrimination, and the perception of warning signals. The magnitude and qualit...
