Abstract
This research dealt with noise problem in the working
environment in relation to textile industry.
The study was carried out in Khartoum spinning and weaving
factory to evaluate noise problem and its effect on workers.
To achieve the goal of this study noise levels were measured in
the working environment in three sections which are weaving,
spinning and preparation by using dosimeter.
Also questionnaires were given to the workers to fill out so as
to know the effect of noise on the workers health.
All measurements showed that the level of noise was above
permissible limit (85 dBA).
Graphs were drawn to show measurements of noise level.
In addition statistical analysis of information obtained from
the questionnaire was carried over, it is shown in frequency
tables and correlation tables.
There are many effects resulting from noise problem in
working environment which could be summarized in hearing
the machine sound after completion of work, effect on hearing
sense, difficulty in conversing with others during working,
instability, disturbance and anxiety, sleepless, nervousness
etc….
Notwithstanding, the questionnaire results did not give high
percentage in all cases yet this does not neglect the existence
of the problem. On the contrary, this may mean lack of
knowledge and inability to deal with the problem.
It is hoped that this research will pave the way to future
studies in this field so as to arrive at the suitable solution to
the problem raised in the this research.
The study recommended the following:
1. Reduce the noise in the working environment by
engineering control and acoustic absorbent to the room
boundaries.
2. The workers must be provided by ear protection or/and
the working hours must reduce.
