A noise assessment may be <br />conducted by the Health and Safety Officer (HSO) or their designee, based on the potential to <br />emit noise above 85 dBA, as well as considering the frequency and duration of the task. <br /> <br />• Areas or equipment emitting noise at or above 90dBA shall be evaluated to determine <br />feasible engineering controls. When engineering controls are not possible, administrative <br />controls can be developed, and appropriate hearing protection will be provided. <br />• In areas or equipment emitting noise levels at or above 85 dBA, hearing protection must be <br />worn. <br />• Employees exposed to 85 dBA or a noise dose of 50% must participate in the Hearing <br />Conservation program, which includes initial and annual (as required) audiograms.
