Abstract

The noise consists of an important environmental risk in the routine of the workers in a grain storage facility. Its most common effects on the worker involve hearing loss, sleep problems, heart problems, stress at home and work, and difficulty communicating during his activities. Thus, this work investigated the noise levels to which workers are exposed in a medium-sized company that operates in grain storage in the southern of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). In this way, at first the survey and characterization of the company's facilities were carried out; then, the noise indices were collected. Finally, the collected data and the discussion of the results were processed. Evidence indicates that actions of improvements aimed at reducing noise exposure should take precedence over external elements of the company's infrastructure, in this case represented by the flow of heavy vehicles (trucks) at its facilities.
