The article presents the results of environmental tests performed on scaffolding that were focused mainly on the sound level. Noise that affects construction workers on scaffolding may increase the risk of accidents. The parameters on which we base our analysis are the value of equivalent sound levels and peak sound levels on scaffolding. We present the results of measurements for the four scaffolds located near the street, three scaffolds located far away from the street and the scaffolding on which the workers were exposed to the typical noises encountered on a site, coupled by rail noise. The analyses carried out confirmed the qualitatively expected dependencies but also allowed the quantification of the impact of traffic noise on the increase of the noise level to which the construction workers working on the scaffolding are exposed. The noise occurs continuously throughout the day and can cause fatigue faster, thereby increasing the risk of accidents in a noisy work environment.
