Noise Analysis at a Company Manufacturing Agricultural Machinery

This study reviewed the hearing loss-related effects of noise on workers employed at a factory manufacturing agricultural machinery. Noise levels were measured by taking into account the engine powers of the workbenches and tools, as well as the operations of the manufactured products. Of the measured levels, the highest noise level was of 86.1 dB(A), followed by four other units with a noise level of 82.1-75.7 dB(A). The concerned people should take the protective measures stipulated in regulations for the noise level of 85 dB(A), which is considered a workplace risk according to the relevant regulations and literature works. Based particularly on the unit where a measurement was carried out towards high value and low noise levels, it was concluded that the hearing health-related effects on workers at the existing noise level should be measured and time-dependent sustainable checks should be performed
