Resumen
El presente trabajo de investigación permite concluir que los niveles de ruido ambiental de la fábrica de hielo, no genera mayor malestar en los moradores del sector, pues se comprobó que cumple con la normativa ambiental del Ecuador, pero con respecto al ruido laboral, existe relación entre los casos identificados de pérdida auditiva de los trabajadores y la dosis de ruido a la que están expuestos durante el día y noche al interior de la fábrica, pues la hipoacusia inducida por ruido no sólo es un problema en el ámbito laboral, sino que influye en lo social y familiar del trabajador, ya que aísla a la persona de las sensaciones auditivas generándole su autoexclusión de la sociedad, ante este factor de riesgo que genera efectos en la salud de una manera silenciosa e imperceptible, lo más importante es establecer planes correctivos, formulando en la propuesta la implementación de barreras acústicas (protectores auditivos) con niveles de absorción propicios para reducir el nivel de exposición del personal, además de barreras acústicas (paneles tipo sándwich) para las viviendas que se encuentran dentro del perímetro de la fábrica y están afectadas por el ruido, siendo que estos espacios deben tener niveles confortables que permitan el descanso luego de la jornada laboral, además se propone mantener anualmente mediciones de ruido ambiental y laboral, así como la realización de exámenes audiométricos, que pongan en evidencia la evolución de la salud auditiva de los trabajadores, medidas que propicien mejorar el ambiente laboral y mantener la salud de los trabajadores.
This research allows us to conclude that the levels of ambient noise of the ice maker does not generate more unrest among the inhabitants of the sector, since it was found to comply with environmental regulations of Ecuador, but with respect to noise in the workplace, there is a relationship among identified cases of hearing loss of workers and noise dose to which they are exposed during the day and night inside the factory, because hearing loss induced by noise is not only a problem in the workplace, but influences in social and family worker, and isolating the person from the auditory sensations and may generate its self-exclusion from society, to this risk factor that generates health effects of a silent and imperceptible way, the most important thing is to establish corrective plans formulating the proposed implementation of sound barriers (ear protectors) levels conducive absorption to reduce the level of exposure of personnel, plus noise barriers (sandwich panels) for homes that are within the perimeter of the factory and they are affected by noise, being that these spaces should be comfortable levels that allow rest after working hours, also intends to keep measurements of environmental and occupational noise annually, as well as performing audiometric tests, which highlight the evolution hearing health of workers, measures to promote better working environment and maintain the health of workers.
