“…Asawarungsaengkul and colleagues 32,33 have developed a series of algorithms that companies could readily implement to determine the most effective noise control approach within budget and staffing constraints. Aluclu et al 34 have proposed a fuzzy logic model (i.e., a system based on approximate rather than precise values), which simplifies mathematical calculations for estimating the effect of proposed noise control treatments.…”

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is tasked with generating new knowledge in the field of occupational safety and health and transferring that knowledge into practice for the betterment of workers. In 1996, NIOSH established the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA), which identified occupational hearing loss as a priority research area. The NORA Hearing Loss Team, composed of representatives from industry, academia, labor, professional organizations, and other governmental agencies, has developed a national research agenda for the prevention of occupational hearing loss. This is Part 2 of that document, outlining research needed to address the problem through effective prevention programs.

“…The effect of job rotation depends on the job role and tasks with higher risk can reduce the efficiency of rotation (Mehdizadeh et al, 2020). While the popularity of job rotation has declined, it remains popular in hazardous and intensive industries to balance challenging and physical demands to reduce repetitive injuries and fatigue (Asawarungsaengkul and Nanthavanij, 2008;Mehdizadeh et al, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of job rotation on employee performance and explores the mediating role of human resources (HR) strategy and training effectiveness on this relationship, within the petrochemical industry, which represents a highly specialist and hazardous industrial context. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected through a questionnaire which was distributed among the experts working in an Iranian petrochemical organization. Previously validated scales were used to measure job rotation, employee performance, HR strategy and training effectiveness, and partial least squares structural equation modeling was used for hypothesis testing. Findings The research findings indicated that job rotation had a negative effect on employee performance, while training effectiveness and HR strategy positively mediated the relationship between job rotation and employee performance. This highlights the importance of ensuring effective training and a HR strategy to support job rotation of skilled and specialist employees. Practical implications Managers of employees in specialist and hazardous industries, such as petrochemical workers, interested in job rotation to support employee career development, should be mindful of potential negative implications on employee performance. To support and improve employee performance, job rotation should be considered alongside HR strategy and training. Originality/value Previous research has largely focused on the value of job rotation to develop managers’ organizational understanding and to reduce injury within blue-collar work, which has led to a paucity of research into job rotation within highly skilled and specialist industrial roles. It is highlighted within the literature that it remains unclear what supports effective job rotation. This study addresses this lacuna by investigating how job rotation affects employee performance in a highly skilled and specialized industry and how strategy and training effectiveness mediate this effect.

“…In recent years, genetic algorithms have been more frequently used in preventing vibroacoustic risks in the working environment, e.g., to optimize the coefficients of filters used in systems of active noise reduction [9], to identify noise sources [10], to optimize the location of noise sources and workstations [11,12] and to develop a strategy for noise reduction [13,14].…”
