How can you reduce workplace noise?
How to Eliminate High Noise
There are many ways to reduce noise and exposure, and it is often best to apply several directions together. First of all, you have to think about how to completely remove the high noise. If it is not possible to eliminate loud sound for technical reasons, you should take some precautions to check the noise at the source. If necessary, you can redesign the workplace and reorganize work patterns. If necessary, take individual protection measures and consider the following:
Use a quieter operation or quieter equipment than you are using, for example:
Can the work be done more quietly?
Can you replace what caused the noise with something less noisy?
Provide a low volume priority purchasing policy for the purchase of machinery and equipment.
Take Engineering Measures:
Avoid metal-to-metal contact, for example, use wear-resistant rubber groove grooves and reduce fall heights.
Vibrating machines can be a source of noise - add extra load (dampen) to reduce vibration.
Remove vibrating machinery or components from the environment, use antivibrated or flexible materials.
Install a muffler at the air vents (exhaust shots, etc.).
Take precautions for those exposed by air because they are in the same environment, not directly to noise. for example:
Use machine guards to reduce the amount of noise emitted to the workplace or the environment.
Use sound barriers to block the path of sound.
Keep sources of noise away from workers.
Design the work area for low noise emissions, for example:
Use absorbent materials such as foam or wool inside the building to reduce sound from the walls.
Keep sound sources, such as noisy machines, away from quiet areas.
Change your workflow to deploy noisy machines in areas that spend less time instead of areas where employees spend most of their time.
Limit time spent in noisy areas.
Do Not Disrupt Noise Measurements and Machine Periodic Controls
Regular maintenance and periodic inspections of machinery and equipment are of great importance for the prevention of hearing discomfort as the machines may deteriorate as they are used and thus become more noisy. Be aware of changes in noise levels by taking regular noise measurements in your work environment, and it may be time to replace worn parts.
