• Description:
  What is a Hazard Datasheet on Occupation? This datasheet is one of the international Datasheets on Occupations. It is intended for those professionally concerned with health and safety at work: occupational physicians and nurses, safety engineers, hygienists, education and information specialists, inspectors, employers' representatives, workers' representatives, safety officers and other competent persons. This datasheet lists, in a standard format, different hazards to which drummers may be exposed in the course of their normal work. This datasheet is a source of information rather than advice. With the knowledge of what causes injuries and diseases, is easier to design and implement suitable measures towards prevention. Who is a drummer? A drummer is a musician who performs multi-percussion music most generally on a drum set that consists of a bass drum, a floor tom, tom-toms, a snare drum, hi-hats, a ride cymbal, and a crash cymbal, although other struck musical instruments of various sizes and shapes may also be used. What is dangerous about this job? 1. Suffer from neuromuscular and repetitive strain injuries that result from forceful exertion of the muscle-tendon units in the wrists and hands. 2. Exposure to loud noise levels that may lead to noise-induced hearing loss. 3. May be subject to awkward body postures for prolonged periods of time. 4. May be subject to electrical hazards. 5. Subject to slips, trips, and falls. 6. May suffer from fatigue. 7. Exposure to poor indoor air quality. [Description provided by NIOSH]
