| Abstract |
Various European directives and standards set stringent requirements with respect to noise emissions that machinery manufacturers and users need to satisfy. Manufacturers must minimize the risks to health resulting from the use of machinery and inform the users on levels of noise emissions. In this study, noise emission levels from four types of machines were examined: woodworking machines, beverage bottling machines, foundry machinery and industrial sewing machines. Technical measures adopted by enterprises for reducing noise emissions were also examined. The study shows that the trend towards reductions in noise emissions is slow and is only perceptible over a 10-year period. |
