ABSTRACT
The exposure to occupational noise can cause hearing problems, induce accidents and decrease the performance of professional activities. The aim of this study was to synthesize the state- of-the-art in what concerns Occupational Noise Exposure in Police forces. For this purpose, PRISMA Statement methodologies were applied. The bibliographic survey was carried out using six keywords, in combinations, on articles indexed to databases. The procedure led to the identification of 135 papers, of which 114 were discarded and 21 included in this review. The survey revealed that in police activity, the influence of noise is directly related to a variety of sources that can cause hearing loss.
