Abstract

With due attention to the prominence of human PRODUCTIVITY in production level increase and quality promotion and confirmation or rejection of some reports suggesting the influence of HEAT and NOISE on PRODUCTIVITY, the present study was aimed to study the effect of NOISE and HEAT on PRODUCTIVITY.This experimental research was carried out on 42 healthy workers (from the cardiorespiratory system point of view) having nearly 30 years and worked in hot sectors of a leather and shoe industry. The workers were exposed to temperatures 20-25, 25-30 and more than 30°c of CET index and also to NOISE intensities of 75 and 93dB. Simultaneously, their human PRODUCTIVITY were assessed by computing the number of errors related to product quality during 100 work days and by measuring the consumed energy during cycling on an ergometer with 100 walts workload. The obtained data were evaluated by T-test.The mean ± SD age of workers was 33.7±0.8 years. By changing the temperature from 23.5°c to 27.5°c CET, the errors changed from 25±3.3 to 33±2.5 and by altering it from 23.5°c to more than 30°c CET, the errors altered from 25±3.3 to 56±2.1 (p<0.005). Meanwhile the consumed energy was increased 22.2% and 40.7% by modifying temperature from 23.5°c to 25.5°c CET and from 27.5°c to more than 30°c CET, respectively (p<0.005). The results indicated that by turning the NOISE intensity from 75 dB to 93dB with 25°c CET, the work errors were increased to 48% (p<0.005). This rate was raised to nearly 20% in temperature more than 25°c CET (p<0.005). It is concluded that HEAT and NOISE can increase human errors and decrease HUMAN EFFICIENCY. In investigating the synchronous effects of HEAT and NOISE on human errors, it is also noticed that these two factors have increasing impact upon each other and augment the individual errors. In other words the increase in NOISE and HEAT can decrease HUMAN EFFICIENCY. Finally, it is recommended to study the impact of different types of sound upon human PRODUCTIVITY.
