Abstract
In a pleasant and healthy work environment, employees are able to fully devote themselves to work, which is reflected in their work performance and a positive approach to work. This research paper focuses on changing the management approach of a selected company to physical factors of the work environment. The focus was targeted at looking for possibilities to change the work environment, which would create wellbeing for its employees, as well as to the exposure of a worker to noise in the work environment and the possibility of its elimination in a particular manufacturing plant. Based on measurements it was found out that the noise exposure values on the machinery had been exceeded. Based on the findings, two corrective technical measures were proposed to reduce noise in the workplace. The first technical measure was to cover the ultrasonic welders with acoustic covers; the second was to cover the fixture itself. However, the fixture covering was removed due to several negative effects on labour productivity and increased costs. After the implementation of technical measures, the measurements were taken once again and based on the results, the organizational measures were proposed.
