ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN METAL INDUSTRY

Abstract

Environmental conditions have an essential importance in terms of occupational health and productivity in each sector. However, it is very difficult to keep environmental conditions within the specified ideal limits due to the processes carried out in the metal industry. Evaluating the environmental conditions constantly, defining precautions, and linking the consequences are critical to improve productivity of workers who work under improper conditions under time pressure. In this study aims to investigate the levels of critical environmental conditions such as heat, humidity, noise, and illumination for the metal industry in Eskisehir. An observation form is designed to record the data and a total of 92 measurements are taken for eight facilities that use sheet-metal forming machines such as hydraulic press, eccentric press, lathe, and guillotine shear. The analyze results of the data state that the temperature is 16.22-29.74 ° C (avg. 23.99 ° C), 22.99% to 54.92% (avg. 36.35), and the noise level 82.3-110.3 dB (A) (avg. 91.88 dB (A)) and the illumination is 33.2-902.7 lux (avg. 289.34 lux) for the facilities in concern.
