Ruido laboral y su incidencia en los operadores en el área de producción de la fábrica de agua Aqua RAU de la ciudad de Manta

Abstract

The following degree work was carried out in order to carry out a study of occupational noise by means of noise control measurements to verify and take measures to reduce this occupational risk and help the operators of the production area of the Aqua RAU water factory to carry out their work in a suitable work environment based on the standards and working conditions suitable for them.Through this research, techniques such as the interview, the survey, check list, and noise control measurements were used using the type 2 sound level meter as the main equipment for data collection, these measurements were based on the INEN-ISO 9612 standard to obtain the samples from the production area of the Aqua RAU water plant required for this investigation.For the analysis of the collected data, noise formulas were used to obtain total data in dB (A), where the minimum, mean, and total maximum are calculated, by means of a logarithmic sum and to reach the conclusion of the amount of noise generated in the production area, in reference to the jobs, the formula for the equivalent level of the day is deduced, calculation of the daily equivalent level, maximum exposure time for the daily equivalent and the degree of risk thus leads to the exposure deduction noise that the operators of this workplace are exposed to.In this way you can have the conclusions correctly identified and take appropriate noise control measures as indicated in the INEN-ISO 9612 standard and adapt to what is indicated in the World Health Organization (WHO), for the improvement of the production area from the Aqua RAU water factory in the city of Manta.
