  Assessment of Acoustic Noise Generated from Machines in a Mechanical Workshop Using 1-Octave Band Frequency Analysis

  By Nishith Ghosh, Aparna R. Sawatkar, J. D. Sharma, A. S. Vajarekar

  Abstract: Acoustic noise is one of the prominent occupational health hazards, particularly in manufacturing and process industries. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause noise induced hearing loss of the exposed personnel. Limiting the exposure to noise intensity within its permissible exposure limit is adopted as one of the administrative control measures to reduce the risk of hearing loss. However, frequency specific assessment of occupational noise exposure is limited. Here, we …

  Use of Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods in Assessment of Occupational Safety and Health

  By Nishith Ghosh, Nitin Choughule, Garima Singh, G. L. N. Padmavathi, J. D. Sharma, A. S. Vajarekar

  Abstract: Assessment of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) of process plants is an important aspect in safety management. Quantitative assessment is necessary to compare the OSH status of different plants. For this purpose, usually, an evaluation team is constituted which evaluates the OSH performance based on the available OSH related information. The evaluation team arrives at a decision through discussions and mutual agreement. However, while working in a group, there always …
