Kesehatan dan keselamatan dalam bekerja merupakan hak bagi setiap pekerja. Namun, tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa kondisi fisik lingkungan di tempat kerja yang biasa menjadi tempat para pekerja beraktivitas sehari-hari masih berpotensi menimbulkan banyak bahaya, Salah satunya adalah bahaya kebisingan. Kebisingan dapat terjadi di tempat kerja baik itu industri maupun non-industri. Pajanannya yang terjadi terus-menerus dan tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan dapat menimbulkan berbagai masalah kesehatan baik itu auditory maupun non-auditory. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini ingin mengetahui hubungan tingkat pajanan kebisingan dengan keluhan subjektif (non-auditory) yang meliputi penilaian gangguan fisiologis, psikologis dan komunikasi pada 84 pekerja di area unit produksi pabrik tepung PT.X Cilegon, Banten. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan tidak adanya hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik antara masa kerja, usia, kebiasaan merokok, penggunaan alat pelindung telinga, kebiasaan menggunakan earphone, kebiasaan mendengarkan musik bersuara keras, dan juga pelatihan dengan gangguan fisiologis, psikologis dan komunikasi. Namun, angka kejadian gangguan fisiologis, psikologis dan komunikasi pada pekerja menunjukkan angka yang cukup tinggi yaitu sebanyak 26,2% pekerja mengalami gangguan fisiologis, 47,6% pekerja mengalami gangguan psikologis, dan sebanyak 48,8% pekerja mengalami gangguan komunikasi. Oleh karena itu, perusahaan tetap perlu menindaklanjuti terkait permasalahan kebisingan ini agar tidak menimbulkan risiko dan juga masalah kesehatan yang lebih besar kedepannya.

Health and safety at work are rights of every worker. However, it cannot be denied that the physical condition of the environment in the workplace which is used to be a place for workers to do their daily activities is still potential to cause many hazards, one of which is the danger of noise. Noise can occur in the workplace both industrial and non-industrial. Exposure that occurs continuously and not in accordance with the provisions can cause various health problems both auditory and non-auditory. Therefore, this study wants to find out the relationship between the level of noise exposure and subjective (non-auditory) complaints which include assessment of physiological, psychological and communication disorders of 84 workers in the production unit area of the flour mill PT.X Cilegon, Banten. The results of this study indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between years of service, age, smoking habits, use of ear protection equipment, habit of using earphones, habit of listening to loud music, and also training with physiological, psychological and communication disorders. However, the incidence of physiological, psychological and communication disorders among workers showed a fairly high rate, namely as many as 26.2% of workers experiencing physiological disorders, 47.6% of workers experiencing psychological disorders, and as many as 48.8% of workers experiencing communication disorders. Therefore, companies still need to follow up related to this noise problem so as not to pose risks and also greater health problems in the future.
