dc.description.abstractOccupational health and safety mainly aims to provide a safe working environment free from risk factors. Personal errors come first among the factors affecting occupational accidents and occupational diseases. The deficiency in visual attention is a significant factor that can contribute to erroneous circumstances and actions that may have major consequences. Environmental risk factors influence several parameters directly or depending on the exposure period and severity. Noise is a risk factor that has proven adverse effects on the physiological and psychological characteristics of individuals and has a risk of exposure in almost every area. In this study, the aim was to specify the effect of noisy work environment on the visual and sustainable attention level of the employees. A workgroup was created from occupational safety professionals, where the attention factor occupies a very important place due to the nature of their work. To assess the level of visual focus for the working group, a test explicitly designed for this study was applied at various noise levels and for different times at the maximum appropriate sound intensity. Statistically analyzed data were obtained. Accordingly, the detrimental effect of noise level at 70 dB and above on visual attention was calculated. In addition, as the exposure time increases, the significance of this effect has increased and this situation has been interpreted as the negative effect of noise exposure in the name of sustainable visual attention.
