目的采用个人声暴露计测量某热轧厂吊车司机个体噪声暴露,了解吊车司机噪声暴露的水平和特点。方法以某热轧厂48名吊车司机为对象,使用AWA-5610E型个人声暴露计测量白班(8:00~16:00)工人个体噪声暴露;计算8h等效连续A声级(LAeq·8h);分析噪声暴露时间变化图;根据吊车作业区域分组比较组间噪声暴露的差异。结果该厂噪声源多,吊车司机噪声暴露受多因素影响;其噪声暴露水平不稳定。测得的48例个体暴露中,LAeq·8h为(85.1±2.3)dB(A);最大值为89.9dB(A),最小值为79.1dB(A)。根据吊车作业区域分为7组,各组噪声暴露水平比较接近,在83.9-87.8dB(A)之间,经检验差异无统计学意义(F=1.20,P=0.325)。结论该厂吊车司机噪声暴露水平已超过85dB(A)的国家标准,应纳入听力保护计划以保护吊车司机的健康。
Objective To measure the occupational noise exposure of overhead-traveling crane drivers in a hot rolling mill with personal noise dosimeter. Method All 48 overhead-travehng crane drivers in this mill were selected as subjects. Their day-shift (8:00 16:00)noise exposure levels were measured with noise dosimeter (AWA-5610E), and each driver's LAeq of 8 h (LAeq ·8h) were computed. According to the difference of work areas, the drivers were divided into 7 groups. Then the noise levels among the groups analyzed. Result There were many noise sources in the mill, therefore the personal noise exposure of the overhead-traveling crane drivers was not continuous. According to48 personal noise exposure data, the LAeq·8h was (85.1 ±2.3) dB (A), the highest was 89.9 dB (A), the lowest was 79.1 dB (A), the LAeq of 7 groups were between 83.9 dB (A), and 87.8 dB (A). There was no significant difference among the noise level of the groups ( F = 1.20, P = 0.325). Conclusion Noise exposure level of overhead-traveling crane drivers in this mill was over 85 dB (A), these workers should be brought into the Hearing Conservation Program for improving their health.
