Measuring of sound level

Human health problems as a result of the abnormal noise in the workplace as well as being in a continuous noise is the greatest risk of occupational disease (hearing loss is one of the two most common occupational diseases).
Conditions of working on board of ships are very difficult for crew members, also during resting in cabin they are exposed to high levels of vibration and noise.
During the trip for crew there is no way to go to forest or park - the areas of peace and quiet. The crew (especially engineers) is exposed to risks associated with hearing loss. Moreover, the excessive levels of noise and vibration cause other ailments such as cardiovascular disease or nervous system. Group of health problems caused by the noise or infrasonic noise or vibration is called vibroacoustic disease.

Info Marine sp. z o.o. measure the noise level in order to demonstrate compliance with the basic rules of health, safety and environmental protection.

Our measurements are compatible with the following standards:

ISO 2923:2001 Acoustics - Measurement of noise on board ships
ISO 1999:1990 Acoustics – Determination of occupational noise exposure and estimation of noise-induced hearing impairment
PN-W-01 350-1: 1996 Protection against noise on board sea - General
PN-W-01 350-2: 1996 Protection against noise on board sea - the conditions and methods of measurement noise
PN-W-01 350-4: 1996 Protection against noise on board sea - Permissible sound levels on cargo ships and fishing vessels
PN-W-01 350-5: 1996 Protection against noise on board sea - Permissible sound levels on passenger ships
PN-W-01 350-6: 1996 Protection against noise on board sea - Guidelines for limiting exposure to noise
PN-W-01 350-7: 1996 Protection against noise on board sea - Hearing protectors

Also We are using standards of below society classification:
