| Abstract |
Oil drilling crews are exposed simultaneously to high noise levels, vibration and hydrocarbon vapours. The highest levels (110-113dB(A) in the mean frequency range of 1000-4000Hz) were measured at the mud pump; 93dB(A) was measured at the central control panel and in the compressor plant. Diesel-powered drill equipment radiated higher noise levels (1-23dB(A) above the permissible level) than electrically driven equipment (95dB(A). The highest vibration energy levels (101dB at 16Hz and 120dB at 31.5Hz) were found at the power station and the mud pump, respectively. The medical examination of the exposed workers revealed cardiovascular disorders, nerve lesions and noise-induced occupational hearing loss. |
