| Abstract |
Exposure to vibration and noise was measured on 4 icebreakers. Vigilance and sleep were monitored in 10 of the catering staff on 2 icebreakers before, during and after the icebreaking season; 10 catering workers ashore served as a control group. The icebreaker personnel was exposed to vibration and noise for 24h a day. Vibration was strongest on the bridge (the highest part of the ship), while noise levels were highest in the hull. Vigilance seemed to be a little lower and sleep somewhat shorter among the icebreaker personnel than among those working ashore. Determination of possible long-term effects of vibration and noise would require prolonged monitoring of the workers' psychophysiological functions. |
