| dc.description.abstract | Hearing loss caused by noise exposure has been a global problemand become one of the public severe hazards. In addition to minimizing activities in high-noise places to protect hearing, when the working environment is full of noise, business employers should provide reasonable protective measures to protect employees′ health. This study focused on a glass fiber-related product factory and investigated the noise exposure of workers in designated noisy areas. It involved conducting surveys and analyses based on operational environmental monitoring reports, historical physical examination data over the years, and questionnaires. The aim is to understand the actual situation of noise exposure in the fiberglass factory.
The research results showed that most of the employees working in the noisy work area of the factory have achieved mild hearing loss, especially in the knitting class, where the hearing loss is the most serious, with a hearing loss of 40 dB. After collecting the analysis results of each noise operation area, the following conclusions are drawn:
1. The longer the exposure time in the noisy workplace, the greater the exposure dose received and the greater the risk.
2. Whether the soundproof protective gear is worn or not will indeed affect the condition and severity of hearing loss.
3. There is no direct and clear relationship between blood pressure and noise exposure.
4. The implementation of education and training has a certain degree of relationship with employees′ perception of hazards.
In the future, it is recommended to find new mechanical equipment for replacement to improve the abnormal sound caused by old mechanical equipment. If the equipment cannot be replaced, it is recommended to install sound insulation walls, sound insulation cotton, etc. to strengthen the sound insulation of the process, so as to effectively minimize personnel exposure and ensure Employees are healthy and achieve the goal of sustainable operation. | en_US |
