Abstract

This article aims to analyze the noise in a work environment, so that the necessary measuring control can be adopted in order to prevent possible illnesses related to the noise that the machines of the companies generate. The health and working conditions of employees during their working hours are being increasingly demanded and one of the main causes of occupational diseases is the noise. In order to be able to control this problem, and take action in relation to this risk, an analysis was executed, where the employees were exposed to an audiodosimetry analysis. Then, a measurement was carried out with a DOS-1000 to assess the noise, where employees would be exposed, preparing a report and subsequently performing an analysis of the generated report in order to verify a solution to mitigate or eliminate the risk. Employees should take one, or some actions, if the exposure tolerance limit was exceeded, minimizing the amount of occupational illnesses related to noise risk. Improving, therefore, the workday of the employees present in the companies.
