@RyanTmhg @itsjustmezed Yep, it almost like it’s purely so indexers see backlinks which I can see show up well on the website data and keep it ranking at the top in search engines and AI results for the keywords. That’s the valuable interaction, not people.

@fwtimini I do, deliberately. If we all do it we end up with soulless dismal hotels with no human at all to ask when something is needed, just an app, a screen in a check-in area and an empty desolate hellhole where guests are just a booking number with no customer service at all.

@SarahCholwill Not criticism, genuine question - can someone going into anaphylactic shock get hold of a phone and make a call? I thought they were sudden and severe?

@BBCNews Wow, I feel so underprepared, nobody has told me that to do when the sun goes away in an evening either. Or what I am supposed to do when I am thirsty.

@OfficialVizeh Breathe a sigh of relief that the interminable bore-fest is over.

If you have a noise risk at work, remember - hearing protection does not last forever and does need to be replaced over time. This is a guide to how often: https://t.co/ZLseLRl5vb

Are medical exemptions permitted which mean someone can be allowed to work in a high noise area without hearing protection? https://t.co/0Rm06s8S7a

@Emmor But insulation works both ways, not one way, it keeps heat in during winter and heat out in summer.

[The Noise Chap @thenoisechap]

Employers need to ensure that hearing protection is available at work, but that it also remains suitable for use. https://t.co/Iuu59tSsbM

@BillWiIdin You do realise that what you are saying is ‘if you don’t agree with this formalised begging then don’t go’. So the server goes from small wage to likely no wage. Genius.

[The Noise Chap @thenoisechap]

If you have a need for a noise assessment at work, either because you need to assess your noise risks or because you opened the door to find the HSE standing there, then you need to get a proper noise nerd in. https://t.co/7TytoM9CDx

Got a high noise level at work and looking for ways to reduce noise? These are some practical examples from recent noise assessments: https://t.co/kBHkXsKrWa

The relationship between safe noise exposure level and the exposure duration can be a little complex. This goes through how safe exposure time changes with how loud the noise at work is: https://t.co/X8XHuPRVFh

Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are certified to EN 352 meaning they can be used as hearing protection at work. This is a review of the AirPods Pro 3 used during noise assessments and what steps employers would need to take to allow them: https://t.co/bRdTGqX8GG

[The Noise Chap @thenoisechap]

Did you know: Apple AirPods Pro 3 are OK to use as hearing protection at work in the UK, provided the employer assesses the SNR as being suitable for the noise risk. https://t.co/5ftGVqcF8Q

[The Noise Chap @thenoisechap]

Did you know that hearing protection has a shelf-life and in most cases doesn't last indefinitely? For ear muffs / ear defenders that is usually between two and five years from the date they were made. Replacing them should be part of an employer's noise risk assessment. https://t.co/KzeZdCOkFg
