Abstract
Workers chemical companies employed at these facilities are exposed to inherent occupatioanl health hazards, including occupational noise. Noise was considered disruptive because its presence was unwanted. The production process was one of the main sources of noise pollution that could disrupt health. Noise exceeding the Threshold Limit Value would cause abnormal blood pressure, as occupational noise was a risk factor for hypertension. This study aimed to identify the relationship between noise pollution and blood pressure. This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was obtained using proportional random sampling technique, comprising 95 samples from a population of 128. Of the 95 participants (median age <40 years;87,4%), 20%(19/95) had abnormal blood preassure, used PPE (60%) and 32,6%(31/64) wereexposed to high noise. The results of this study revealed a significant relationship with abnormal blood pressure experienced by Unit Plan field workers (p=0.019). Based on the research, it was found that high noise intensity coupled with not using PPE could increase the risk of abnormal blood pressure in workers.
