“…This result was not a surprise, since most companies of furniture are in the same situation, meaning that the sound pressure level present in this companies exceed 85 dB (A) (Petusk, Silva, Trugilho, Fiedler, Rabelo, Alvarenga, (2014)). Therefore, according to the legislation, it is mandatory to implement corrective action measures for the protection of workers during the performance of their duties.…”

A Sociedade Portuguesa de Segurança e Higiene Ocupacionais realiza, em 15 e 16 de Abril de 2019, a 15ª edição do Colóquio Internacional de Segurança e Higiene Ocupacionais - SHO 2019. Tal como nos treze últimos anos, o evento tem lugar no Auditório Nobre da Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho, em Guimarães. A edição de 2019 abrange as temáticas da Ergonomia e do Ambiente Físico, dos Riscos Químicos e Biológicos, da Segurança contra Incêndio e da Gestão da Prevenção, que são objeto de sessões plenárias, decorrendo ainda várias sessões paralelas de comunicações livres nas áreas temáticas previstas para o evento, bem como várias sessões com apresentação de posters.

“…It was verified that 15 out of the 22 machines analyzed at the equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) featured sound pressure level greater than 85 dB(A), only 2 machines had levels lower than 85 dB(A), which may hinder general and hearing health of the exposed workers, unless preventive measures are not effectively adopted. During the measurement of noise levels in furniture manufacturing plants in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, it was also verified that most analyzed machines evidenced equivalent continuous sound level greater than the tolerance threshold of 85 dB(A) 33 .…”

Workers of the hospital maintenance sector: protection, hearing symptoms and noise exposure

2018

Purpose: to investigate the use of hearing protection and symptoms in hospital maintenance workers and evaluate the noise level of the machines. Methods: a cross-sectional quantitative study held with workers from a public hospital maintenance service. A questionnaire related to personal, clinical and occupational history was used. Measurement of the noise level of the machines in the sector was carried out using a sound pressure level meter. Results: 57 male workers participated, mean age of 43.28 years, among the workers, carpentry prevailed (10.53%), length of time at the job averaged 8.9 years and 9.3 daily work hours; 45.76% did not know what could be done to reduce maintenance noise; 59.65% wore hearing protectors at work, ear plug model (47.37%), and 82.45% thought that the noise was reduced when they wore the hearing protector correctly. Auditory and non-auditory signs and symptoms were denied by most workers. Noise perception in the maintenance service was medium (53%) and high (44%), evidenced noise levels of 62.0 to 101dB (A). Conclusion: the hearing protector was worn by 59.7% of the workers, the plug model was the most used (47.4%) and 75.8% reported that occupational noise decreased with the use of hearing protectors. Most workers use hearing protection and have no hearing symptoms. However, the presence of symptoms such as otalgia (8.8%), otorrhea (5.3%), dizziness (14.0%), tinnitus (17.5%) and difficulty in speech comprehension (7, 0%) should be pointed out. Noise assessment showed high levels from some maintenance machinery, representing a risk for hearing. The sectors of the woodwork and metalwork were the noisiest.

“…It has been determined that noise-related disorders are the most common occupational diseases suffered by workers in the furniture industry in Malaysia (Ayak et al 2017). It is reported that the noise levels of the machines used in the furniture manufacturing sector reach up to 117.4 dB, levels that can harm human health (Filipe et al 2014). On the other hand, research has been conducted showing that high levels of noise detected in the sector can cause physical and psychological discomfort as well as loss of motivation for employees (Muzet 2007;Leventhall 2009).…”

This study aimed to determine the risk level of noise, which is an important physical risk, in small and medium-sized furniture industry enterprises. The noise levels of the circular sawing machines, edge banding machines, and mitre cutting machines, which are among the main processing machines of the sector, were measured. The study was carried out in 32 furniture businesses. The possible risks of noise on the operators of the machines in question and other employees were evaluated. Noise level measurements were made with the help of TESTO 815 measuring device. Dunnett’s T3 test was used to detect differences in noise levels for machine operators and other employees. It was determined that the edge banding machine does not pose an occupational health and safety risk in terms of noise risk factors. However, the mitre cutting machine and the circular sawing machine pose a risk for the machine operator in active production by creating noise above the established exposure limit value. The mitre cutting machine carries the same risk for the machine operator when it is in operation but in passive production. The results revealed the need for personal protective equipment for machine operators for mitre cutting and circular sawing machine.
