“…Furthermore, noise exposure can cause tinnitus, headache, auricular plenitude, dizziness, and gastric, visual, sleep, and mood disorders (9) . These disorders related to continuous noise exposure will depend on frequency, intensity, duration, and rhythm of the noise, as well as exposure time and individual susceptibility (10) .…”

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.

Atuando diretamente no comportamento dos trabalhadores podendo causar problemas de atenção, memoria, provocando redução e perdas auditivas (Oliva, 2011).…”

Resumo: O presente trabalho objetivou analisar as ações de Higiene e Segurança do Trabalho desenvolvidas por instituições financeiras na Paraíba, à luz das ações de RH sustentável. Para tal descreveu como são desenvolvidas estas ações nas instituições estudadas na ótica de seu gestor local, e sua compatibilidade com as ações de RH sustentável. Por estratégia metodológica adotou-se a pesquisa descritiva do tipo estudo de caso múltiplo com abordagem qualitativa, obtendo-se como resultados referentes à identificação da compatibilidade das 05 ações de Higiene e Segurança do trabalho, desenvolvidas pelas instituições bancárias, consideradas indicadores a serem analisados, são de fato 03 ações totalmente de RH sustentáveis. Considera-se que as outras 02 ações, são parcialmente sustentáveis. Considerando-se o ambiente interno como sendo tão importante quanto o externo das instituições, sugere-se às instituições financeiras implementação de um programa de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, evidenciando a importância deste programa, com ações sistematizadas, proporcionando um bem-estar efetivo fortalecendo as ações de RH sustentável, tornando-o compatível com o discurso das organizações.
