Investigation On The Health Status of 11800 Occupational Noise Workers in Xinjiang

Abstract Background: To investigate the current status of occupational noise hazards in some Xinjiang enterprises, and to provide a basis for the development of targeted noise prevention measures. Methods: We used descriptive analysis to investigate a total of 11,800 subjects who underwent occupational health examination in Xinjiang Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital. Results: The hearing abnormality rate of noise exposure practitioners was 8.03%, which was higher in males than that in females (χ²=54.507, p <0.05). The abnormal rate of high-frequency hearing threshold in Xinjiang minorities was lower than that of Han nationality (χ²=11.780, p <0.05), the results of the electrocardiogram were reversed (χ²=9.128, p <0.05). Differences in abnormal rates of blood pressure (χ²=149.734, p <0.05), hearing (χ²=231.203, p <0.05), and physical examination (χ²=360.609, P <0.05) are statistically significant in different industries. The abnormal rate of blood pressure (χ²=67.416, p <0.05) and hearing (χ²=49.535, p <0.05) gradually decreases with the expansion of the enterprise scale. Conclusion: Male, elderly, mining, small and medium enterprise practitioners should be the key population for noise occupational hazard prevention. It is necessary to standardize occupational health management in enterprises, improve workers' self-protection awareness and the quality of life of employees.
