Investigation into noise exposure of engine room personnel aboard MS Trident Amsterdam
report
The noise exposure in terms of equivalent continuous sound level Leq of engine room personnel was determined aboard the freighter m.s. "Trident Amsterdam" during ordinary trade voyages by means of two methods: the first by making use of dosimeters, the second by measuring the sound levels in the engine room at 165 positions and the exposure times of the engineers involved for three operating conditions of the ship. The two methods gave results which were in good agreement.
A further conclusion is that a simplified calculation method may offer a reliable alternative for determining the value of Leq.
