On the need and possibility of reducing the impact of noise in order to minimize injuries at airlines
DOI 10.51955/2312-1327_2024_2_6
Abstract. Summary data on injuries in Russia and at civil aviation enterprises over the years of the current century are presented. Continuous reduction in injury rates has been shown. Significant actual factors of the working environment that contribute to occupational injuries have been statistically identified, one of the main ones being noisy workplaces. Exposure to noise has a negative impact on hearing and the functional state of the central nervous system thus reducing performance, leading to errors, and contributing to injuries. The possibility to counter the noise effects by otoprotection with an argon-oxygen gas mixture has been experimentally confirmed.
Keywords: injuries, noisy workplaces, human factor, civil aviation enterprises, otoprotection, argon.
