    BACKGROUND: Speech, language and hearing sciences and worker health. PURPOSE: to present a revision of concepts, conceptions and history linked to the vigilance in Employee's Health, in its broad meaning, comprising epidemiologic, environmental and sanitary vigilances, referring to the importance regarding the use of such concepts in the practice of Speech Therapy. CONCLUSION: considering that the Vigilance in Employee's Health follows the guidelines of the Unique Health System (SUS), the speech therapist is required to adopt such guidelines in practice, identifying and modifying the risks originating from these occupational activities. Thus, the vigilance has to anticipate, allowing the provision of vital information for the course of actions, assuring the quality of health assistance to the population of employees.

    (CEFAC Saúde e Educação, 2011-06-01) Silva, Monique Cantelli Da; Orlandi, Carolina Galoti [UNIFESP]; Chang, Eliane Mi [UNIFESP]; Siviero, Juliana [UNIFESP]; Pinto, Meliane Melina [UNIFESP]; Armellini, Patrícia Fernanda Staciarini [UNIFESP]; Santos, Thássia Silva Dos [UNIFESP]; Luz, Vívian Baptista [UNIFESP]; Gil, Daniela [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    PURPOSE: to measure the noise levels in different shifts of Hospital São Paulo's (HSP) laundry and provide information on health and hearing conservation to the employees and supervisors of the sector. METHODS: this is a descriptive transversal study. The noise levels were checked using a Sound Pressure Meter in the Clean Area of the laundry, in three periods of the day: morning (between 7am and 8am), afternoon (between 12pm and 1pm) and night (between 5pm and 6pm), in three different days and each measurement lasted five minutes. The examiners also checked the use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) by the employees. RESULTS: we observed 11 machines (skylarks, dryers and washers) in the sector, which contribute to an important variation of noise levels in the laundry (70 to 101 dB) in the checked periods. The use of PPE by employees was rare, observing the use by only six employees (12.76%). CONCLUSIONS: regardless of the shift, Hospital São Paulo laundry's employees, who do not effectively use PPEs, are daily exposed to high levels of sound pressure and as the number of machines in operation increased, the noise levels were also higher.
