title: Farmers' Ergonomic Risk Assessment (FERA) Tool in the Musculoskeletal Disorders Risk Assessment of Agriculturists
description: Current noise exposure measurement techniques fail to account for the noise emitted from a two-way radio earpiece and are impractical for highly variant and physically demanding work environments. Two novel prototypes were created to adapt a standard noise dosimeter for measuring noise levels when a two-way radio earpiece was used.
