Among some complications caused in the work environment, industrial noise can be the main trigger of some disorders such as hearing loss, irritation, memory failure, mental confusion and others. The industrial sector is the most affected by noise problems, for this, there are artificial intelligence tools capable of monitoring noise. To better understand how to protect, prevent employees and follow ABNT\’s NBR 10.151 standards, check out the full article below!
Know the causes of industrial noise
Some equipment such as generators, backhoe loaders, electric saws, pneumatic hammers, crushers and all kinds of equipment that emits alarming sounds in the industry are causes of noise pollution. Noise is a serious occupational hazard that workers face. For this, there are industrial monitors that perform the work of analyzing and controlling excessive noise. The industrial monitors and silencers are intended to ensure work facilitation, safety for employees and greater comfort in the inhabited areas around the industrial units.
Understand the importance of industrial noise monitoring
Faced with many norms that aim to control excessive noise in the work environment to protect employees from noise exposure, Norm NE 15 of the Ministry of Labor determines the limit values and requirements in relation to noise. There is also the ISO 9612 which consists of measuring the level of noise in the work environment that can, consequently, affect workers. In addition, the ITU P-360, ISO 11904, ISO 5349, ISO 2631, NR6 and NR 17 standards are responsible for monitoring sound levels in indoor environments, with the objective of making the place comfortable for everyone. As well as noise monitoring, industrial silencers are also extremely important for the sound preservation of the environment, contributing to the facilitation of work and ensuring more internal and external safety. For this, it is essential to work with qualified and certified professionals, as at Arbomtec.
