Pulmonary diseases, cardiovascular problems, disturbances in sleep, fatigue, and, in the worst-case scenarios, hearing loss (this one with a permanent character) are some of the most common adverse  effects  reported  in  the  literature.  This  issue  covers  itself  in  even  more  significant  concern  when analysing the mining industry context. Almost every operation works as a potential noise source, not only for  the  workers  but  also  for  the  surrounding  populations.  Objective:  To  identify  the  exposure  setting  to occupational noise in the extractive industry and similar works (i.e. earthworks), particularly related to tasks and  equipment.  Methodology:  The  Preferred  reporting  items  for  systematic  reviews  and  meta-analyses (PRISMA) was used as a guideline to help conduct the research and report of this work. The most relevant keywords  were  selected  and  later  combined  in  the  selected  databases  and  multidisciplinary  academic journals  in  the  first  phase.  After,  the  articles  were  filtered  with  a  set  of  exclusion  criteria,  to  know:  1) Publication  year,  2)  Document  type,  3)  Source  type,  and  4)  Language.  The  subsequent  stage  was  to determine, within the remaining articles, the pertinence of each study and its later inclusion in the study. Each set of data was then classified according to the measurement context, and the results were analysed. Results and discussion: In the records\u2019 identification phase,  a  total  of  1148  papers  were  recovered.  By applying  the  previously  mentioned  exclusion  criteria,  547  were  removed  related  to  publication  year,  146 due to document type, 12 related to source type and 25 because of language. Additionally, 360 records were excluded  because  were  not  in  accordance  with  the  proposed  objective,  25  were  duplicate  articles,  and  7 had no full-text available. From the last analysis, 11 more papers were excluded, which lead to a final result of  15  included  studies.  According  to  theoccupational  noise  measurements  set,  the  records  were  divided into  four  categories:  activity,  equipment,  job  category,  and  working  area.  Different  equipment  was associated with high noise levels: crusher \u2013between 85.6 and 104 dB, trucks and bulldozes \u2013above 100 dB, and  shovel \u2013103  dB,  whereas  the  only  analysed  activity  was  blasting,  where  studies  concluded  that increasing  distance  leads  to  lower  noise  measurement  values.  Conclusions:  Considering  this  research, although it was possible to identify the tasks and equipment usually associated with occupational noise in the extractive industry, a lot of work still needs to be done, especially data analysis. However, this research serves as a starting point for future study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.24840\/978-972-752-279-8_0015-0020","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T16:31:34Z","timestamp":1630427494000},"page":"15-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Short review on occupational noise exposure in the extractive industry and similar works"],"prefix":"10.24840","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5856-5317","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joana","family":"Duarte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9254-4384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Castelo Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9127-7766","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernanda","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8524-5503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
