About this statute

This provision says the regulation’s purpose is to protect workers from workplace dangers and harm caused by exposure to noise. This provision says the regulation applies to work covered by the occupational safety law where workers are exposed or may be exposed to noise from the work. This section defines three noise-exposure terms used in the regulation. The section sets noise exposure and peak sound pressure action and limit values, and says hearing protector attenuation is counted for paragraph 2 but not for paragraph 1. In properly justified cases with large day-to-day variation in a worker’s noise exposure, the section 4 limits may be applied using a weekly value instead of a daily value if the weekly exposure stays within 87 dB and work-related risks are minimized.
