3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Musical Instrument Manufacturing

Some hazards affecting workers during musical instrument manufacturing may include:

• Musical instrument factories must use various types of machinery and equipment to produce their products. If not used properly, these devices can cause occupational accidents, injuries, and harm workers’ health.
• Employees in musical instrument factories often work in environments with high noise levels from machines and tools. This noise can damage workers’ hearing and reduce their concentration.
• The manufacturing process may involve chemicals for cleaning, polishing, or painting. These chemicals can be harmful to workers’ health if not used correctly or without proper protection.
• The paints and adhesives used in musical instrument manufacturing can release toxic fumes harmful to workers’ health.
• Workers may have to work in awkward positions or perform repetitive tasks for long periods, which can cause musculoskeletal injuries, muscle strain, or stress.
