In this study noise measurements were made in a quarry belonging to a private, company located in the boundaries of Karaomerler village, Konya (Turkey). Noise levels were measured at 42 points, in the operation field and equivalent noise levels were determined and the results were mapped using NetCad program. With the help of the obtained noise maps, it is recommended to take preventive measures, where necessary. Proper reading of maps is crucial for effective and sufficient measures in terms of occupational health and safety measures have to be taken.
