Abstract
Some manufacturing processes are accompanied by significant noise and vibration. Sources of intense noise and vibration are machines and mechanisms with unbalanced rotating masses, as well as technological installations and apparatuses in which the movement of gases and liquids occurs at high speeds and has a pulsating character. The modern development of technology, equipping enterprises with powerful and fast- moving machines and mechanisms leads to the fact that people are constantly exposed to noise of increasing intensity. Increasing noise and vibration in the workplace has a harmful effect on the human body. As a result of prolonged exposure to noise, the normal activity of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, digestive and hematopoietic organs is disturbed, and professional hearing loss develops, the progression of which can lead to complete hearing loss. Among industrial hazards, noise and vibration occupy one of the leading places among production hazards. The harmful effects of increased noise levels on the human body are well khown, therefore, the relevance of this problem is obvious.
Highlights
When working in conditions of vibration, labor productivity decreases, the number of injuries increases
The most harmful effect on the human body is provided by vibration, the frequency of which coincides with the frequency of natural vibrations of individual organs, the approximate values of which are as follows (Hz): stomach - 2 ... 3; kidneys - 6 ... 8; heart - 4 ... 6; intestines - 2 ... 4; vestibular apparatus - 0.5..L, 3; eyes - 40 ... 100, etc
The human body is considered as a combination of masses with elastic elements
Summary
When working in conditions of vibration, labor productivity decreases, the number of injuries increases. At some workplaces in agricultural production, vibrations exceed normalized values, and in some cases they are close to limit. The vibration levels on the controls do not always comply with the standards. Low-frequency vibrations that negatively affect the body predominate in the vibration spectrum. Some types of vibration adversely affect the nervous and cardiovascular systems, the vestibular apparatus. The most harmful effect on the human body is provided by vibration, the frequency of which coincides with the frequency of natural vibrations of individual organs, the approximate values of which are as follows (Hz): stomach - 2 ... 4; vestibular apparatus - 0.5..L, 3; eyes - 40 ...
