A subordinate who works in the area without hazards of noise informs you that he often has trouble hearing people call him. He has gone to see the doctor, who told him that this problem could be due to one of two causes: 1) exposure to a very loud noise on one occasion, or 2) remaining in a continuously loud work environment. Your subordinate feels that the source of the noise could be a machine in his workplace. As his superior, what should you do?

You must immediately launch a fact-finding investigation when you are informed of any irregular situation or event.
