Noise Monitoring in the School Metal Workshop

Abstract

The study deals with the issue of noise in the school facility, in the school metal workshop, its measurement and evaluation of the results. The purpose of the carried-out study was to monitor and assess the conditions in which the students learn and work there and point out the shortcomings concerning noise’s impact on human health. At the same time, the study aimed to optimise the workplace or workshop by legal regulations. Based on the monitoring results, several critical places were found where the limits were exceeded. A 3D noise propagation model modelled according to the measured results was created, allowing us to understand noise propagation better. Finally, the conducted study resulted in suggestions for improving the working conditions in the monitored school facility and for increased safety and health protection of students at work.
