| Abstract |
Measuring noise exposure following the provisions of French legislation on workers' protection creates several practical problems: description of work tasks related to noise exposure, choice of measuring apparatus, implementation techniques. In this normative document, these problems are dealt with in such a way as to optimize and control measurement accuracy, facilitate its being carried out and make its results easier to understand. It is aimed at employers, joint safety and health committee members, exposed workers, safety services, occupational physicians, as well as those involved in industrial noise evaluation and control, prevention work and labour inspection. As a training tool, the document can be used both by those who do the measuring as those who are its subjects, and it may be useful during the initial steps of a noise reduction programme. |
