Welcome to the section of the website SAFER dedicated to INFRASONIC NOISE hazards.

The content-related materials presented on the following pages of the section discuss the most important issues related to the infrasonic noise in the working environment, in particular: hazards related to infrasonic noise and the effects of human exposure to infrasonic noise, legal requirements relating to infrasonic noise, sources of infrasonic noise, principles of exposure assessment infrasonic noise together with the presentation of basic quantities characterizing infrasonic noise in the work environment and methods of occupational risk assessment as well as the most important principles of technical and organizational prevention.

Due to the complexity of the presented topics, as well as possible serious health or material consequences of incorrectly identified infrasonic noise hazards and improper selection and use of preventive measures to the needs arising from such hazards in a specific workplace, reading the materials presented on the site can not be considered as an alternative to specialist assessment of exposure characteristics (required by labor law) or for specialist training on hazards related to infrasonic noise and the principles of safe work in infrasonic noise hazards.
