| Abstract |
A noise control programme in blanking press workshops with recurrent noise levels of 90-100dB is described: information of exposed workers, inventory of noise sources, periodic audiometric examinations, recording and analysis of results, technical and medical prevention methods proposed. Phases of the programme described are: introduction of ear protectors at a workshop; soundproofing of a new workshop by acoustic treatment of the floor and walls; grinding of the cutting edges of the press tools to replace the stamping by a shearing effect; slight reduction of stroke frequency; creation of empty spaces above the presses; fitting of suspended ceilings above the operators. |
