The JEM provides estimates of mean noise exposure during workshifts from 89 different DB-07 industry and 101 DISCO-88 codes. An expert based qualitative JEM for all remaining DB-07 industries and DISCO-88 classified occupations will be combined with the quantitative noise exposure measurements.

Noise was measured as mean noise exposure during work shift in three categories: <80, 80-84, ≥85 dB(A).

Name: STOJJEM

 

Coverage

All occupations described by DISCO-88. All industries within DB-07.

Job Classification

International Standard Classification of Occupations 1988 (ISCO-88) and Statistics Denmark Employment Database 2007 (DB-07).

Calendar Period

Data were collected from 2001 to 2010. For years before 2001, assumptions were applied to estimate values, ensuring a continuous dataset for analysis.
