Synopsis

This study deals with exposure to internal and external environmental noise, as well as occupational noise in the operational activities of a Distribution Centre. The purpose of this study is to assess internal, external and occupational environmental sound pressure levels, helping to identify potential offenders to workers' health, which will allow the most assertive preventive and/or corrective measure to be chosen. To carry out this work, a company was chosen that operates as a logistics operator in its own distribution centre. The results obtained were compared with the exposure limits, in order to classify the situation in terms of exposure, and showed that the assessments met the established purpose. At the end of the study, recommendations were presented with the aim of attenuating sound pressure levels where they were above the tolerance levels determined by legislation.
