Abstract

The ship's engine room is an area with the highest noise level that threatens the safety and health of the crew, with exposure of 95-108 dB exceeding the NAB 85 dBA (Per.13/Men/X/2011). Objective: To analyze the effect of noise on the safety and health of engine crew. Method: Descriptive quantitative research with simple linear regression. Population and Sample: 36 engine crew from the Marine Practice program of Surabaya Maritime Polytechnic, purposive sampling. Instruments and Analysis: Sound level meter, Likert questionnaire, SPSS for regression (Y=12.490+0.441X), t-test, R². Results: Noise has a significant effect (t-count=2.346>2.034, sig=0.025<0.05), explaining 37% of the variation in risk. Conclusion: Engine room noise increases the risk of deafness, stress, and accidents; PPE and engine maintenance are required.
