".
I wholeheartedly support this report by my Socialist colleague to tighten the Council's common position on exposing workers to noise. No workers should be exposed to such high levels of noise that they are unable to have a conversation: you only get one pair of ears and to protect them is vital. Moreover, it is better that measures to combat noise pollution and harm are preventative rather than curative and that the onus is placed on collective rather than individual responsibility in this domain.
So that this directive is as effective as possible, we should work with existing tools and avoid duplication. Therefore, the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work should be used to its maximum capacity. This will facilitate and promote the exchange of best practice in terms of acceptable noise levels. Moreover, it is logical that this directive must be far-reaching to include those employers and employees who are self-employed, since these make up a significant share of today's workforce."@en1
