An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Noise Awareness Program
Approved hearing protective equipment (noise attenuating devices) will be available to every employee working in areas where continuous noise levels exceed 85 dB. To be effective, ear protectors must be properly fitted and employees will be instructed in their use and care. Training shall be updated consistent to changes in PPE and work processes and include the proper techniques of wearing hearing protection. [2]
Noise levels are measured using a sound level meter or an octave bank analyzer and records kept. Engineering controls will be used to reduce excessive noise levels. When engineering controls are not feasible, administrative controls (i.e., worker rotation) will be used to minimize individual employee exposure to noise. An ongoing preventive health program will be utilized to educate employees in safe levels of noise, exposure, effects of noise on their health, and use of personal protection. Hearing protectors shall be available to all employees exposed to an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels or greater at no cost to the employees. Hearing protectors shall be replaced as necessary. [3]
