Resumen |
Statistical analysis of 9,000 noise level measurements taken on 400 ships (classification by age of ship, rotating speed of propeller shaft, areas on board - on-duty and off-duty areas). The risk of hearing damage is slightly higher on recently constructed vessels (faster ships of lower tonnage). A great many of the engine-room personnel were exposed to equivalent steady-state noise levels exceeding 89dB(A). In spite this high level of noise exposure, less than 40% of the technical personnel wore hearing protectors. Audiometric tests showed hearing loss in 21% of the technical personnel. |
