Description
Go-kart instructors work in roaring, shaking machines, yet their exposure risks are rarely measured. Iryna Myshchenko, Karolina Paluszek, and Daria Karpczak studied in 2025 nine young male instructors at a dynamic track.
Daily noise ran from about seventy-six to eighty-two decibels, with peaks near one hundred nine. Modeling warned that running more than nine karts at once would breach the eighty-five-decibel limit. Whole-body vibration broke short-term limits in half the tested cases, and hand-arm vibration in most. Hearing questionnaires showed mild perceived difficulty, worse with age and experience. The authors call for tailored prevention in recreation work.
