| Abstract |
French regulations specify that exposure to noise must not exceed a limit of 87dB during eight hours, while taking into account the wear of personal hearing protectors such as earmuffs or earplugs. This information sheet proposes methods and tools aimed at helping persons responsible for plant occupational safety and health estimate the noise levels to which workers are truly exposed when wearing hearing protectors. |
