Design and testing of noise measurement systems for a sensor network for monitoring vibroacoustic hazards

Summary/Abstract: Noise is a common physical hazard in the work environment. To limit the risk of permanent hearing loss among employees working innoisy conditions, it is essential to conduct a precise assessment of the level of workers’ exposure to this harmful factor. In the caseof non-stationary workstations or work environments that are subject to continuous changes, a proper assessment of an employee’sexposure to noise can be challenging due to the random nature of changes in the occurring hazard and the difficulty in estimatingthe exposure time. The solution to this problem may be continuous noise monitoring using wireless sensor networks. This articlepresents the structure and operating principle of a system for monitoring and remotely controlling noise and mechanical vibrationsin machines and devices, enabling, among other things, continuous monitoring of employee exposure to noise. One of the elementsof the developed system is a personal noise meter, the construction and results of which are presented later in the article.
