Abstract
Madencilikte gürültüye maruziyeti ve gürültüye
bağlı işitme kaybı yaygındır. Gürültüye bağlı işitme kaybını önlemek ve en aza
indirmek için çeşitli maden işlemlerinden kaynaklanan gürültü emisyon
seviyelerinin değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Madenciler arasında mesleki işitme
kaybının önlenmesine yönelik uygulamalar yetersiz olduğu için, bölgeye özgü
veriler üretmek üzere bir kömür madenciliği alanı seçilmiş ve 2004-2007 yılları
arasında gürültü ölçüm örnekleri toplanmıştır. Çalışma, lavvar, açık ocak ve
yeraltı madenini içeren üç ana maden alanını kapsamaktadır. Gürültü ölçüm
çalışmalarından elde edilen veriler, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve Tukey çoklu
karşılaştırma prosedürü kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Analizler Minitab® 14
istatistik yazılımı kullanılarak yapılmış ve en yüksek gürültü seviyelerini lavvar
tesislerinin ürettiği bulunmuştur. Lavvarda çalışan işçiler, izin verilen sınırların
oldukça üstünde gürültüye maruz kalmakta ve dolayısıyla gürültüye bağlı işitme
kaybı açısından daha fazla risk altındadır.

Abstract
Noise
exposure and noise-induced hearing loss are prevalent in mining. Assessment of noise
emission levels arise from various mining operations is required to prevent and
minimize the noise- induced hearing loss. Because
the practices for preventing occupational hearing loss among miners are
inadequate, a coal mining area was selected to generate site specific data and
collected the noise measurement samples from 2004 to 2007. The study covered
the three major mining areas including coal preparation plants, open cast mines,
and underground mines. The data obtained from the noise measurement studies
were evaluated by using one-way analysis of variance and the Tukey’s multiple
comparison procedure. The analyses were performed by using
MinitabÒ 14 statistical software and it was found that the coal handling
plants produced the highest noise levels. Workers engaged in the coal
preparation plants have higher noise exposures above the permissible limit and
hence these workers are at greater risk of noise-induced hearing loss.
