Risk analysis on scaffoldings exposed to noise

The article presents the results of environmental tests performed on scaffolding that were focused mainly on the sound level. The parameters on which we base our analysis are the value of daily noise exposure level and peak sound levels on scaffolding. The noise that affects construction workers on scaffolding, may increase the risk of accidents. We present the results of measurements for twenty two scaffolds in five cities. The analyses carried out confirmed the qualitatively expected dependencies but they allowed us to quantify the impact of the noise on which construction workers on the scaffolding are exposed. The noise occurs continuously throughout the day and can cause faster fatigue, thereby it can increase the risk of accidents in noisy work environment.
