According to Finnish legislation the noise to which professional motor vehicle drivers may be exposed must not exceed 85dB(A).

Measures to be taken if 85dB(A) is exceeded: repair of noisy mechanisms, soundproofing of cab, limitation of exposure according to noise level. Appendices: model test report; letter from the Finnish Ministry of Transport concerning authorisation of wearing of hearing protection by drivers of noisy vehicles. |
