Summary/Abstract: Vibroacoustic harmful factors, namely noise and vibration, are common in the working environment, contributing to the formation of occupational diseases. Taking preventive measures to protect workers from exposure to excessive noise or vibration requires knowledge of the state of hazards in the workplace. This can be gained utilizing systems for monitoring noise and vibration in the working environment.The paper presents the system’s model developed in CIOP-PIB, which is a wireless sensor network for monitoring noise and vibration hazards. In the abovementioned model renewable energy sources are used for powering noise and vibration meters. This solution increases the autonomy of the meters and reduces the cost of the system maintenance. The article describes the main principles and concepts of the system, discusses the construction of a model of the system and provides examples of the results of measurements taken with its use. Summary presentation of results from the central receiving signals from several or even more sources will be a matter of future publications.
