New regulations coming into effect in 2006 reduce the noise level to 80 decibels at which employers have to provide hearing protection and training to employees, and the maximum noise level permissible is 137 decibels. Further training and insistence on employees wearing ear protectors are necessary where staff are exposed to such noise over a working day or week. Employers need to carry out risk assessments and must provide hearing tests for employees regularly exposed to the upper end of the sound values specified. The main factors that contribute to hearing damage are noise levels and length of exposure.","PeriodicalId":430751,"journal":{"name":"COMMERCIAL MOTOR","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114662396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drugs such as cannabis may remain in the body for weeks at detectable levels without necessarily incapacitating the user. The difficulties faced by haulage firms detecting drivers under the influence of drugs are exacerbated by irregular working hours. The problems resulting from the possible legalisation of cannabis are discussed. Research at TRL Limited indicates that drivers using cannabis know that they are impaired but this does not necessarily mean that they would drive safely.","PeriodicalId":430751,"journal":{"name":"COMMERCIAL MOTOR","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115352919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
