Research and increase of efficiency of noise load monitoring and minimization of occupational risks in conditions of industrial noise exposure

Abstract

Abstract The technical means development modern level allows to implement large-scale and continuous approaches to the detection of noise levels affecting the worker.However, IT-technologies of collecting data on working area and residential area noise characteristics, on which basis it is possible to carry out risks prognostic assessments of noise exposure to humans without limitation to the working conditions, industrial control and environmental monitoring special assessment results, are underdeveloped.The research purpose is to assess the collecting data possibility on the noise levels distribution within the working area, residential area and the high levels occupational risk areas determining possibility by the industrial noise factor by means of smart phones. A method was developed for collecting data on the noise levels distribution within the working area, residential area, on which basis a software product for recording and processing data on the noisenature was developed. The industrial noise levelsspatial distribution constructing possibility on the construction site in real time as a result of using a special software product was shown. The metadata continuous collection on the noise nature makes it possible to clarify the occupational risks levels associated with noise exposure and to select measures to manage these risks.
