Abstract

Music is widely used in leisure activities, but environments with high sound intensity such as nightclubs may expose workers to the unhealthy level of sound pressure. Excessive noise has been associated with hearing impairment, difficulty in verbal communication, increased psychological tension and lower level of attention of workers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sound pressure level of electronically amplified music through 25 measurements in triplicate in the different nightclub environments installed in the city of Cascavel (Brazil) during the presentation of disk jockey and with live sound. By anamnesis, he verified the perception of the employees in the exposure unhealthy. The results showed that all employees exposed to unmitigated excessive noise, 18.8% said that the music and noise in the place affect their function and everyone perceives the buzzing after the end of the journey. No employee interviewed uses Individual protection equipment, with 27.1% complaining about the occupational discomfort caused by the protector, while 50% of the reasons characterized by the lack of awareness of the interviewees. It´s concluded that the noise agent in nightclubs is serious and imminent, culminating in occupational illness if isn´t mitigated by the use of protection equipment and the implementation of risk management programs and employee awareness.
不健康的职业暴露于夜总会的噪音和缺乏员工意识
音乐在休闲活动中被广泛使用,但像夜总会这样的高声强环境可能会使工人暴露在不健康的声压水平下。过多的噪音与听力受损、语言交流困难、心理紧张加剧和工人注意力下降有关。本研究的目的是通过在巴西卡斯卡维尔市不同的夜总会环境中安装的三次25次测量来评估电子放大音乐在播放磁盘骑师和现场声音时的声压级。通过记忆法,他验证了员工在接触不健康的感知。结果显示,所有员工都暴露在未减轻的过度噪音中,18.8%的员工表示音乐和噪音影响了他们的工作功能,每个人都在旅程结束后感受到嗡嗡声。受访员工没有使用个人防护设备,27.1%的人抱怨防护设备带来的职业不适,而50%的原因是受访者缺乏意识。结论认为,夜总会的噪声因素是严重和迫在眉睫的,如果不使用防护设备,实施风险管理计划和员工意识,最终会导致职业病。
