A plan for acoustic signalling in industrial areas-criteria for the design of warning signals
Keywords:
acoustic applications, alarm systems, hearing, safety systems, signalling, acoustic signalling, industrial areas, noisy workplaces, hearing capabilities, environmental demands, safety warning signalsAbstract
An efficient use of warning signals in noisy workplaces is submitted to many psychoacoustic and physical constraints, particularly when the security of the workers is concerned. Firstly, the use of warning signals in industry is not regulated. Secondly, the design of these signals is based on traditional practices, with little consideration of the hearing capabilities of the workers. An analysis of the interaction between the hearing capabilities and the environmental demands in terms of compatibility leads us to a general set of criteria to design safety warning signals in industry
