Análisis de ruido laboral del área operacional en la estación de compresión de gas PADUA

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the working conditions of noise to which workers in the operational area of the Padua gas compression station, in the department of Tolima, Colombia, are exposed. For this they were formed Similar Exhibition Groups (GES) by selecting a sample of 3 charges, each with different shifts. The measurements made were 3 dometries, one at a charge, 8 sonometries around the compression units which are the main sources of noise emission (sound) and additionally 6 random points were taken to generate a noise map of the Station. The instruments used were a sonometer branded Cirrus No. G071182, acoustic calibrator brand cirrus No. 72040, a dosimeter brand Cirrus No. CR:110AIS and 3 Dosebadge. The measurements took into account the TLVs established in the ACGIH (American Conference of Industrial Governamental Higienist).
