Análise da Eficiência dos Protetores Auditivos Utilizados na Indústria da Construção Civil na Cidade de Manaus

Abstract

The construction industry provides occupational hazards to workers at construction sites. Despite the mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE), noise is one of the occupational hazards that persist as one of the most damaging to workers. This work aims to analyze the efficiency of hearing protectors, taking into account the octave band spectrum at the sound pressure levels of the main equipment used in the civil construction sector in the city of Manaus.
