Abstract

Many workers throughout the world experience noise at work. Unwanted sound, or noise, is a common occupational concern in industrial and service environments. High noise levels can lead to hearing loss, physical and mental stress, decreased productivity, communication difficulties, and an increased risk of accidents and injuries due to interference with warning signals. An airport is one of the most significant locations where employees are subjected to excessive noise. The study’s measurement location is the Benina International Airport, which is located in Benghazi. Employees at Benina Airport, are subjected to noise and its consequences continuously. The manager of the safety department further stated that the dogs are completely deaf and that most of the staff suffer from hearing loss concerns. This is why investigating and comprehending the origins of noise, especially at airports, helps generate solutions for reducing or eliminating it. Data were gathered to gauge the noise level of aircraft engines during two distinct times: in the morning and the afternoon. These times were arranged with the head of the department responsible for air traffic controllers under the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority. Analysis was successful in creating a statistical prediction model and yielding valuable data.
