Resumo(s)
This study aimed to characterize the industrial workers’ noise exposure. The analysis was carried out using data from noise exposure assessment bulletins, prepared under the Prevenir program. This study covered eight sectors of Portuguese industry. The results showed that the sectors with higher levels of noise are the metallurgy and metalworking and also the wood and furniture. The quieter sectors are the textile and clothing industry, jewellery and watchmaking and chemical industry. Regarding the attenuation provided by hearing protection available to workers from the evaluated industries, the vast majority use earplugs with excessive attenuation.
