Virtual Safety Roundtable:
Effects of Noise on Mental Health

Join us for a crucial virtual safety roundtable tailored for Safety Professionals in the Utility Construction industry. This session will delve into the critical decibel thresholds that pose risks to hearing, highlighting the typical noise levels encountered in construction environments. We will explore not only the auditory health risks but also the broader physiological and mental health effects of noise pollution.

In addition to its impact on stress hormones, blood pressure, and cardiovascular health, noise pollution can significantly influence mental well-being, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and reduced cognitive function. By understanding these multifaceted health implications, we aim to emphasize the importance of noise awareness and protection in the workplace, ultimately promoting safer, healthier, and mentally supportive working conditions for utility construction professionals.
