| Abstract |
Noise constitutes a hazard to the health of workers, whose exposure must remain within limits that are compatible with hearing protection. In this respect, French labour legislation includes provisions aimed at limiting noise to the lowest possible levels and requiring employers to implement various preventive measures. This article summarizes the main provision of French regulations concerning the requirement to evaluate exposures to noise and to implement preventive measures. |
