Abstract

Noise is a great issue in modern civilisation, as sources of noise have become increasingly more varied and more powerful. Noise affects badly the human organism and causes physical and mental disorders as well as presenting a potential harm to the hearing. The paper studies the noise level in the sewing process at five workplaces equipped with sewing machines. Results analysis shows that the noise levels range between 71 and 77 dB(A) which is within the permitted range for this type of work. Weekly level of noise exposure also does not exceed the permitted maximum of 80 dB(A).
