Upper exposure action value |
|
|
| What's the measurement? |
| Daily exposure of 85dB and a peak of 140 pascals |
|
| What does the business need to do? |
|
 |
|
The noise must be reduced so far as is reasonably practicable (including the provision of hearing protection) |
|
|
|
If the noise cannot be reduced then an 'ear protection zone' must be identified and clearly marked (with the use of signs etc). |
|
|
|
Hearing protection must be provided to all entering the zone and the employer must ensure that it is worn. |
