Noise risk assessment on noise exposure among urban rail maintenance worker using personal monitoring method

Urban Rail maintenance work usually involves a lot of daily mainte-nance work as proper maintenance must always be a priority for the rail industry to ensure the passengers are always comfortable and safe. These maintenance activities expose the technician to noise as they handle a lot of hand tools...
