A model was developed to assess how elevated absolute thresholds and enlarged auditory filters can impede the ability to detect alarms in noisy background, such alarms being of paramount importance to ensure the safety of workers. Based on previously…

In noisy workplaces, the audibility of acoustic alarms is essential to ensure worker safety. In practice, some criteria are required in international standards to make sure that the alarms are clearly audible . However, the recommendations may…

In an effort to improve occupational health and safety, we recently proposed an approach to assess the audibility of acoustic danger signals. It is based on the use of a binary classifier trained on perceptual data to predict the audibility of…

In noisy occupational settings, the audibility of acoustic alarms is crucial for alerting workers to potential dangers. To ensure the audibility of warning signals, the international standard ISO 7731 requires that alarms be clearly audible…

Occupational noise exposure is a widespread concern, impacting millions of workers. The present research focuses on the audibility of acoustic alarms to ensure worker safety while minimizing exposure to unnecessarily high alarm levels. It…

In most public and work areas, auditory alarms are used to alert people to dangerous situations that may require immediate action. The audibility of these alarms is essential to ensure the safety of individuals in the face of accident risk. In the…
