Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field Cleveland, OH 44135 U.S.A. John J. Mikulic NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field Cleveland, OH 44135 U.S.A. INTRODUCTION At the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field (formerly the Lewis Research Center), experimental research in aircraft and space propulsion systems is conducted in more than 100 test cells and laboratories. These facilities are supported by a central process air system that supplies high-volume, high-pressure compressed air and vacuum at various conditions that simulate altitude flight. Nearly 100,000 ft 2 of metalworking and specialized fabrication shops located on-site produce prototypes, models, and test hardware in support of experimental research operations. These activities, comprising numerous individual noise sources and operational scenarios, result in a varied and complex noise exposure environment, which is the responsibility of the Glenn Research Center Noise Exposure Management Program. Hearing conservation, community noise complaint response and noise control engineering services are included under the umbrella of this Program, which encompasses the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard on occupational noise exposure, §29CFR 1910.95[ 1], as well as the more stringent NASA Health Standard on Hearing Conservation[2].

  • Noise Control Methods for Shipbuilding
    Noise Control Methods for Shipbuilding Final Report NSRP Subcontract Agreement No. 2012-424 Presented To: National Shipbuilding Research Program Operated by Advanced Technology Incorporated Prepared By: Daniel O. Chute, CIH, CSP Atrium Environmental Health and Safety Services, LLC Atrium Environmental Health and Safety Services, LLC 11495 Sunset Hills Road, Suite 210 Reston, VA 20190 November 1, 2012 Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Final Report Noise Control Methods for Shipbuilding; NSRP Agreement No. 2012‐424 November 1, 2012 Page 2 of 14 Abstract Noise control has always been a big issue in shipyards. OSHA regulations for Occupational Exposure to Noise in 29CFR 1910.95 define specific requirements for shipyard employment, including surveillance, audiometric testing, training and use of approved PPE for exposures exceeding 85 dBA over a full shift. Experience has demonstrated that uncontrolled exposure represents a major loss-control issue by contributing to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), citations, lower productivity and costly compensation claims. A wide variety of equipment and operations commonly found in shipbuilding have the potential to produce excessive noise levels requiring OSHA compliance action and the use hearing protection unless employers have sampling data to document their equipment operates below the action thresholds. The goal of this project was to accurately measure and characterize representative noise levels generated by common shipyard manufacturing and maintenance processes, to define both representative exposure levels and to evaluate and describe the most effective control methods which are currently in place. This work is designed to promote effective and beneficial technology transfer, so that techniques and processes that may have been proven in one or two locations may be passed along to other sites to promote noise exposure reduction, where possible, with reduced trial-and-error, better innovation and ultimately, reduced exposure time before implementation.

  • Section 31 – Hearing Loss Prevention Program
    Reclamation Safety and Health Standards May 2020 Section 31: Hearing Loss Prevention Program Section 31 Hearing Loss Prevention Program 31.1 Scope This section establishes minimum requirements for a Reclamation Hearing Loss Prevention Program (HLPP) to ensure safety and occupational health hazards related to hearing are appropriately addressed. The HLPP applies to all employees working at or visiting facilities who are exposed to noise at or above 85 decibels, A scale (dBA), for an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) using a 3-dBA exchange rate. 31.2 General Requirements 31.2.1 3 dB Exchange Rate Reclamation shall use the more protective American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV) exchange rate of 3 dB to be proactive in reducing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) as shown in Table 31-1. TABLE 31-1. ACGIH 3 dB Exchange Rate Time to ACGIH 3 dB Reach 100% Exchange Rate Noise Dose Exposure Level 10 hours 84 8 hours 85 4 hours 88 2 hours 91 1 hour 94 30 min 97 15 min 100 31.2.2 Controls As feasible, engineering and administrative controls shall be implemented as the first line of defense when employees are exposed to sound levels greater than an 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA. Hearing protection devices (HPDs) shall be used when engineering and/or administrative controls fail to reduce the sound levels below the 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA. 31.2.3 Exposure Limit An exposure of 85 dBA, based on an 8-hour TWA, shall be used when determining if personal dosimetry results have been exceeded.
