Abstract

In order to manage noise reasonably in a special working environment in agriculture, the existing quantitative evaluation and related influencing factors such as exposure period, frequency, work method, use of protective equipment, and age should be considered together. This study aims to identify the factors influencing noise exposure through the 2022 survey data of the Farmers' Occupational Disease Survey (National Accreditation Statistics No. 143003) conducted by the Rural Development Administration. As a result, it was found that full-time farmers, rice paddy farming, farming for three to five months throughout the year, men in their 60s, 30 to 50 years of experience, and farmers are exposed to the most noise. Through this study, high-risk groups for noise exposure were identified, and protection measures need to be prepared for them in the future.
