Noise
The hospitality industry can be a noisy environment. Noisy cooking processes, beeping signals, dishwashers, plant, ventilation, coffee grinders, housekeeping activities, laundry, music in bars and of talking to colleagues or guests are all part of the job. If you have to raise your voice to talk to someone standing one metre away you may have a noise problem. Repetitive noise over long periods may be very harmful and have long term effects. There are certain requirements an employer must implement if the noise level is at or above 85 dB.
