Abstract

Occupational exposure to high noise levels is a problem in almost all industries, including the services sector. The exposure level varies depending on the noise sources. According to the available research studies, this problem often appears in industries like transportation, mining, production, and construction. The risk of negative health effects is proportional to the exposure level and the frequency of noise exposure. The negative effects of high noise exposure levels often include decreased concentration, risk of accidents, stress, and cardiovascular diseases. A noise exposure measurement in real-world conditions was carried out to determine the noise exposure level of the schoolteachers, as well as automotive and mining industry workers. The results of this research show that there
might be a risk to workers’ health and safety in three different workplaces, including both industry and education.
