Noise control is fundamental in the oil & gas industry as excessive noise can impact both the safety and efficiency of operations. High noise levels can lead to hearing loss among workers and increase the risk of accidents by masking important auditory signals.
For example, noise is a significant factor in equipment failure and operational disruptions, with studies showing that noise-related issues contribute to about 15% of equipment malfunctions. Proper noise management must be considered from the design stage to mitigate these risks and ensure a safer and more productive work environment.
