INDUSTRIAL PROCESS

Enumerate some machines that cause loud noise in cement industry

Identify how much decibels these machines produce.

Search the information on how noise can affect our hearing. (Noise level and Duration)

Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing. Loud
noise above 120 dB can cause immediate harm to your ears.

Machines noise level and duration (wearing ear protection)

Rock drilling machine- 85 dB to 114 dB (duration of 8 hours for 85 dB and 30 minutes for 114 dB)

Excavator-95 dB to 105 dB (duration of 8 hours for 95 dB and 60 minutes for 105 dB)

Dump Truck- 85 dB (duration of 8 hours for 85 dB)

Crusher machine- 81 dB to 102 dB (duration of 8 hours for 81 dB and 90 minutes for 102 dB)

Rotary Feeder- 105 to 155 dB (duration for 30 to 15 minutes)

Robust apron conveyors- 113 dBA to 119 dBA per 100 m (15 minutes of exposure)

Grinding mill- 94 dB to 119 dB (4 hours for 95 dB and 15 minutes for 119 dB)

Make a scenario in terms of safety in cement industry tackling about noise.

The machines produce a noisy noise that can harm employees and others in the workplace, so
managers must have ear protection for workers, and each machine must have a noise canceling
system to reduce the loud noise, and workers must limit their shifts or time sensitivity to the
loud machines to prevent irreversible ear injury over a long period of time.
