Abstract

Noise pollution is a major problem in cities around the world. Noise is defined as unwanted sound. Environmental noise consists of all the unwanted sounds in our communities except that which originates in the workplace. The present study has been carried out in the forging industry in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Noise levels at various Mechanical press and drop hammer forge were measured. In the present research work, the minimum noise recorded was 92 dB (A) and maximum as 104 dB (A), which was compared with OSHA and WHO (World Health Organization) standards. Result of this study shows that due high intensity of noise generated by Mechanical press and drop hammer forge at workplaces, workers were facing the mental and physical problems.
