This study investigated occupational noise exposure at the recycling plant of the municipality of La Molina. The main objective is to identify the equivalent sound pressure levels in 8 hours (LA Ex.8h) in these noise stations, where the possible impacts of noise on workers were analyzed and the values were compared with the recommended exhibition standards at the national and international level. The measurements of the noise levels in the work stations yielded the following results: PR-1 (86.9 dB(A)), PR-2 (76.4 dB(A)), PR-3 (72.2 dB(A)), PR-4 (69.3 dB(A)), PR-5 (67.1 dB(A)), and PR-6 (82.2 dB(A)). In addition, a survey carried out showed that occupational noise at work stations is causing significant discomfort to a portion of the working population, based on staff perception of workers and the magnitude of noise at noise stations. It was detected that at station PR 1 it exceeded the maximum permissible limit in national and international standards, with a daily dose of 155.7%. To address this situation, the use of conventional attenuation devices, such as earplugs, was explored. The implementation of these plugs would reduce the equivalent sound pressure level in 8 hours (LA Ex.8h) at the PR-1 station to 75.9 dB(A) and reduce the daily noise dose to 12.3%. In conclusion, this study highlights the urgency of taking measures to control occupational noise at the La Molina recycling plant. It is recommended to implement attenuation devices and establish preventive measures, such as administrative and engineering controls, to protect the hearing health and well-being of workers. Therefore, the use of earplugs is essential to improve the work environment and ensure safe and healthy working conditions in the recycling plant.
