| description | Palm Oil Mills are among the nosiest industrial workplaces, whereby excessive noise poses
a threat to the health of organization and cause serious consequences. Excessive noise exposure gradually
affects auditory and non-auditory aspects of health. The set symptoms are referred to as occupational
stress, having a direct impact on concentration, thereby reducing the efficiency and productivity levels of
organization. Therefore the objective of this study was to determine and the prevalence of occupational
stress among Oil Palm Mill Workers in seven sections of two selected mills The study’s scope was on the
non-auditory effects of excessive noise while . The participants were 62 workers of two selected Palm Oil
mills. They were chosen through proportional stratified sampling. Based on the objective of this study the
environmental sound levels were measured in seven different section while on the other hand O’Donnell
inventory was utilized as a tool to determine the stress level. Evidence shows that Physiological and
performance effects are the two most important body reflexes affected by high exposure risky noise levels.
