Determining the need to provide hearing protection for employees can be challenging. Employee exposure to excessive noise depends upon a number of factors including the loudness of the noise as measured in decibels (dB) the duration of each employee's exposure to the noise. It also includes whether employees move between work areas with different noise levels and whether noise is generated from one or multiple sources.
Generally the louder the noise the shorter the exposure time before hearing protection is required. Employees may be exposed to a noise level of 90 dB for 8 hours per day (unless they experience a Standard Threshold Shift) before hearing protection is required. On the other hand if the noise level reaches 115 dB hearing protection is required if the anticipated exposure exceeds 15 minutes.
Manufacturers need assistance in determining if the hearing protection of their employees is adequate to avoid OSHA fines and remain compliant with regulations.
