| Abstract |
Results of observations and tests on 101 test bed engineers exposed to stress due to work involving several vigilance tasks and to airflow noise from fans of the tested motors. Comparison of these results with observations on 33 controls. In the subjects, the pulse rate was 8.5 to 13.6 strokes/min. higher than the controls, the psychomotor reaction time was longer, and significant hearing losses occurred after several years of exposure. Suggested occupational health measures: noise control at the source; placing personnel and control desks in acoustic enclosures; equipment of test beds with signalling devices and automatic controls to reduce the stress due to hearing vigilance. |
