Abstract: (1498 Views)
Background: Nowadays, one of the most health issues in industries is noise exposure. Noise can cause hearing loss and many problems. Therefore, control of industrial noise exposure should be of priorities of health programs. In this study, noise pollution was investigated in a poultry slaughterhouse. Methods: This descriptive study was performed as case study in a slaughterhouse. Noise intensity was recorded at different points in the slaughterhouse using TES 1356 which was calibrated with TES 1358 Sound Calibration. Findings: Results from several points was reported as sound pressure level (SPL) and showed that SPL in recorded stations was more than the standard level. Conclusion: Whereas the noise intensity was recorded more than the standard level, it can be concluded that the hearing loss and other effects of noise exposure are possible in the slaughterhouse. Therefore, safety program should be performed in high risk points.
