NOISE POLLUTION AT TURNING

Abstract

The need to reduce and avoid occupational hazards by improving the working environment and, implicitly, noise is required for social and economic reasons and is a global challenge today. All turning machines induce hazards due to rotating cutting tools, transmission belts and pulleys, high tension, noise and compressed air. In order to prevent the adverse effects of noise on workers, care should be taken to select appropriate instruments, measurement methods and procedures for the assessment of workers' exposure. The most important effects of noise on the human body are: auditory fatigue, sound trauma, professional hypoacusis, professional deafness, stress, cardiovascular disorders and even aggressive behavior.
