Özet:

 The Regulation on the Protection of Employees from Noise-Related Risks, published with the entry into force of the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, aims to control and reduce noise during work in all sectors. For this reason, measuring daily or weekly noise levels has become mandatory in many sectors. Noise can be defined as the whole of irregular, disturbing and unpleasant sounds that are not harmonious. Noise has many adverse effects on humans. Its most important effect is that it creates a lack of attention in the workplace environment and disrupts communication between people. This study examined the noise factor encountered in heavy maintenance facilities, and the precautions that should be taken according to current occupational health and safety regulations were discussed. In 135 noise measurements made in 2019, the noise level was higher than the highest exposure action value LEX,8h  85 dBA at 39 points. For this reason, in the study, the risk posed by noise was prevented by developing measures that ensure the elimination or minimization collectively of the risks arising from noise exposure at the source, environment and person. The technical measures taken in the measurements made in 2021 have given positive results. The number of measurement results which were higher than the highest exposure action value LEX,8h  85 dBA is reduced to 13 measurement points.

 6331 sayılı İş sağlığı ve güvenliği kanununun yürürlüğe girmesiyle birlikte yayımlanan Çalışanların Gürültü ile İlgili Risklerden Korunmalarına dair Yönetmelik tüm sektörlerde çalışma anındaki gürültünün kontrolünü ve azaltılmasını hedefler. Bu nedenle birçok sektörde günlük veya haftalık gürültü düzeyinin ölçülmesi zorunlu hale getirilmiştir. Gürültü, aralarında uyum bulunmayan düzensiz, insanı rahatsız eden ve hoşa gitmeyen seslerin bütünü olarak tanımlanabilir. Gürültünün insan üzerinde birçok olumsuz etkisi vardır. En önemli etkisi işyeri ortamında dikkat eksikliğini oluşturması ve insanlar arasındaki çalışma iletişimini bozmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, ağır bakım tesislerinde karşılaşılan gürültü faktörü incelenerek, mevcut iş sağlığı ve güvenliği yönetmeliklerine göre alınması gereken önlemler ele alınmıştır. 2019 yılında yapılan 135 adet gürültü ölçümünde 39 noktada gürültü düzeyi en yüksek maruziyet eylem değeri olan LEX,8saat  85 dBA düzeyinden yüksek çıkmıştır. Bu nedenle çalışmada, gürültüye maruziyetten kaynaklanan risklerin kaynağında, ortamda ve kişide toplu olarak yok edilmesini veya en aza indirilmesini sağlayan önlemlerin geliştirmesi yapılarak gürültünün oluşturduğu riskin önlenmesi yapılmıştır. 2021de yapılan ölçümlerde alınan teknik önlemler olumlu sonucunu göstermiştir. En yüksek maruziyet eylem değeri olan LEX,8saat  85 dBA düzeyinden yüksek ölçüm sonucu 13 ölçüm noktasına düşürülmüştür.
