| dc.description.abstract | Globally, noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a very common self-reported occupational illness or injury, despite decades of study, workplace interventions and regulations. An even worse reality is facing mining-intensive countries. The Minerals Council South Africa indicates that more than 73% of miners in the country are exposed to excessive noise despite the intensive implementation of hearing conservation programmes (HCPs). | en_ZA |
