This study aimed at providing a framework for prioritizing workplaces in terms
of noise control in the ceramic industry, as exposure to industrial noise has long
been recognized as an occupational hazard. A TES-1354 device was used to
measure the noise level. The WHC continuous noise index was used to calculate
the amount of noise pollution brought on by process equipment. Finally, the
industry's workplaces were prioritized for noise control using the noise control
prioritization index (NCPI), which considers three factors: the number of
individuals exposed, the duration of exposure, and the weighting factor based
on the intensity of exposure to noise. The sound pressure level (SPL) values in
the studied industry were measured between 69 and 93.70 dB (A).
Furthermore, 20.53% of all measured stations were in the high-risk limit (SPL
≥ 85 dB(A)), while 79.47% fell within the safe range (69 ≤SPL<85 dB(A)). For
stone crushing workplace, WHC continuous noise index values were found to
be near 1, indicating unpleasant working conditions for workers. Additionally,
the highest value of NCPI was estimated for the stone crusher workplaces. Our
findings indicate that the stone crusher workplace is the priority for noise
emission control.
