Abstract

In the introduction the latest legislative regulations on the protection of workers exposed to noise are discussed. General protective measures against noise are subject to architecture and technological solutions, while personal noise protection is most successfully provided by means of »Swedish cotton« (Bilsam cotton), and in some cases with ear protectors. The examinations were carried out in two factories: one was a steam boiler factory and the other a textile processing one. On the basis of these examinations the present condition of personal noise protection was evaluated and some general conclusions were drawn. The efficiency of personal protective devices should not be ignored or underestimated. The use of »Swedish cotton« and ear protectors should be obligatory for workers, and the management and authorities responsible for protection should pay close attention to it. However, for particular problems special, individual solutions will have to be searched for.
