This is often much higher than the recommended safe levels.
At nightclubs, discotheques and bars, average sound levels can range from 104 to 112 dB; noise levels at pop concerts may be even higher. (...) Volume can be reduced when listening to personal audio devices by:
· Wearing earplugs. When frequenting nightclubs, discotheques, bars, sporting events and other noisy places, use earplugs as hearing protection. (...) The duration can be minimized by:
· Having short listening breaks. When going to nightclubs, discotheques, bars, sporting events and other noisy places, people should take short listening breaks to help reduce the overall duration of noise exposure.
· Moving away from loud sounds.

We visited indoor and outdoor locations in bars/nightclubs, cafes, government buildings, hospitals, restaurants, schools, shopping malls, traditional coffee houses and universities. (...) Smoking was observed in just four (6.0%) of the 67 cafes but in 63 (79.7%) of the 79 bars/nightclubs (Table 1). Among the venues in which any smok- ing was observed, the bars/nightclubs gave the highest median number of observed smokers per venue (Fig. 3).
(...) How- ever, compliance appeared to be poor in coffee houses and the dining areas of government buildings and hospitals
and very poor in bars/nightclubs. Smok- ing appeared to be especially common in the outdoor locations close to bars/ nightclubs, coffee houses, hospitals, malls and universities.

In wake of mass shooting, UN rights chief urges US to consider robust gun control
14 June 2016
In the wake of the mass killing of 49 people by a sole gunman in a gay nightclub in Florida, the United Nations human rights chief today urged the leadership of the United States to live up to its obligations to protect its citizens from the “horrifyingly commonplace but preventable violent attacks that are the direct result of insufficient gun control.”
(...) “That is the least that is owed to the relatives of all those children, women and men whose lives have been snatched from them by gunmen from a wide variety of backgrounds in the Orlando nightclub, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, at the Methodist Church in downtown Charleston, and at so many other homes, schools, colleges and other venues across the United States,” he said (...) human rights

CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES UNDER ARTICLE 19 OF THE CONVENTION : CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT : CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE AGAINST TORTURE : LIECHTENSTEIN : ADDENDUM
Accordingly, it is not the case
that more than 200 women work in the nightclubs for the entire year, but rather that on
average only 20 women work in nightclubs each month, which substantially facilitates the
monitoring and assistance of these women.
21. (...) When this Round Table was formed in 2006, a study on
the working and living conditions of nightclub dancers in Switzerland1 provided the starting
point for the body's work and projects. The study commissioned in 2006 by the non-
governmental organization (NGO) "FIZ Advocacy and Support for Migrant Women and
Victims of Trafficking" illuminated the context, the origin of the women, the recruitment
process, and the problems and grievances relating to nightclub dancers in Switzerland.
Since the Liechtenstein nightclub industry is closely linked to its counterpart in
Switzerland, the study also reflects the situation in the Liechtenstein nightclubs.
