چکیده
conclusions our results showed that only 17% of the measured points in the oil drilling rig floor were in safe area; 39% were in caution area and 44% were in danger area. in the camp facilities area, 51% of the points were in safe area, 38% were in caution area and 11% in danger area. the main sources of noise exposure in the rig floor area were power generators. materials and methods this was a cross-sectional study. environmental and personal noise exposure measurements were carried out by the method established by iso-9612 with a sound level meter and noise level dosimeter. results all the measurements were performed in two parts of an oil drilling rig: the operation area and the camp area. the noise levels in 100 points in the rig area were between 54 - 110 db. the noise levels were also measured in 38 points in the camp area and ranged between 52 - 100 db. background noise exposure is one of the most important problems in workplaces and general environments. noise exposures can have both auditory and non-auditory health effects. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the noise exposure levels in oil drilling rig floor and camp facilities in ahvaz, iran.

متن کاملAn outbreak of influenza B among workers on an oil rig.
An outbreak of influenza B occurred in December 1996 on an oil rig in Darwin Harbour. The outbreak affected 56% of the workers on the rig. An outbreak in December is outside the usual Australian influenza season of June to September, but is consistent with other tropical regions, where outbreaks can occur throughout the year. Influenza vaccination could prevent similar outbreaks in confined wor...
متن کاملOn Noise Tracking for Noise Floor Estimation
Various speech enhancement techniques (e.g. noise suppression, dereverberation) rely on the knowledge of the statistics of the clean signal and the noise process. In practice, however, these statistics are not explicitly available, and the overall enhancement accuracy critically depends on the estimation quality of the unknown statistics. With this respect, subspace based approaches have shown ...
