Measurement of excessive noise for construction workers in the construction industry: A case
Study of ABC Construction PTE Limited.
Noise control for construction workers has always been a challenge for construction
companies. This is due to the health effects noise has for such workers who are overexposed to
excessive noise. The background for my research was due to the health complains made by
workers in ABC construction. Many construction workers had reported not having the ability to
hear as well as they used to before they began their job to the level of causing induced hearing
loss.
The objective of this research paper is to investigate the different noise exposures that the
construction workers undergo as well as possible recommendations that should be applied. The
research will also look into any efforts the company has made to control noise during
construction for the safety of its workers. Currently, workers have reported noise exposures that
last long and are loud enough to cause irreversible hearing loss. Medically, a high level of noise
destroys nerves in the inner ear. Victims usually become socially isolated, depressed, and lose
the ability to communicate efficiently with others. They also tend to have more injuries and
accidents because they can't hear warning signals standard in construction. This has resulted in
losing jobs due to liabilities such victims pose for the company.
The fundamental reasons for this proposal are significant challenges and lack of noise
control measures that have had substantial health effects on the wellbeing of construction
workers. This research will also help determine measurements of tools and construction tasks
that generate dangerous noise (Lie, 2016, 354-355). The information will sensitize the need to
identify solutions the company can take into consideration. Data collection will be based on six-

A case analysis of fatigue for healthcare employees to TRY Hospital Limited
Within the field of health care, professionals continue to suffer fatigue due to the long
irregular hours they work for and the light intensity of their job. TRY hospital staff is no
different. Most professionals have reported decreased energy and a feeling of tiredness that is
usually as a result of poor quality sleep or short sleeping time, which forms the basis for my
work.
Given the importance of sleep and its effect on overall cognitive performance of
healthcare professionals, the objective of this research is to investigate fatigue and its link to
patient safety and healthcare professional safety in TRY Hospital Limited. Currently, fatigue has
been characterized as an unsafe condition and potential hazard in health care that has led to
increased medical errors in the hospital. Most of the professionals have also reported chronic and
acute sleep deprivation tendencies that have played a part in cumulative deficits of their overall
functioning (Van Mol et al., 2015, 10).
The purpose of this study will be assessing risks, previous medical errors, working hours,
and future status projections made by healthcare workers. From a professional standpoint,
decision making and fatigue are argued to affect the situational awareness and naturalistic
decision making of health care professionals. The results of this investigation benefit healthcare
staff and management by showing the need for implementation of new flexible work schedules
and programs that eliminate fatigue. The research will aid in demonstrating the overall dangers
