| Abstract |
The financial and technical aspects of a programme designed to reduce worker exposure to sound levels of ≤ 80dB(A) are described. After measurement of initial sound levels, modified ventilation, ceiling absorbent, sound screening, and modification of vibrating machinery were all used as measures to reduce noise. The desired reduction was achieved for workers at milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, gear cutting machines, grinders, cleaning devices and hydraulic units. |
