Knowing that exposure to physical agent noise above the stipulated limits and long periods can cause irreparable damage to the employees' audition. Therefore this study aimed to verify if the two homogeneous groups activities represented by drivers of two truck models used in a beverage carrier may be considered insalubrity by noise exposure, according to a regulatory provision of the Ministry of Labor and Employment ( MTE) NR-15 of 1978 and ordinance 3214, and based on methodological procedures provided by Occupational Hygiene Standard 01 (NHO- 01). For the measurements was used dosimeter equipment, from Quest Q-300, properly calibrated. After doing the measurements, the data were compared with the parameters provided in NR-15. From the results, it was concluded that there is no insalubrity working condition in any of the studied functions, since the average sound pressure level in which both drivers were exposed was below the set tolerance limits in NR-15 which is 85dB for a day of eight hours per day, and none of the evaluated employees were exposed to noise levels of peaks above 115 dB (a). Also, both assessed drivers had exposition below the action level parameters set by the NR-9, therefore, the evaluated function does not require preventive actions to minimize the effects of exposure to physical noise agent
