Abstract |
Results of noise control tests in a French zip-fastener plant. Noise level measurements on various machines and in various premises revealed maxima of 103dB. Audiometry of 30 or so workers of both sexes allowed tabulation of threshold shifts in frequency bands between 63 and 8000Hz. Trials with hearing protection equipment (muffs, earplugs, glass fibre wadding) were carried out but it was finally decided to control machine noise at source and trials were made with machine enclosures which produced an average noise-level reduction of 14dB on 12 machines. |
