Revisions and additions are published annually. The Hartford encourages the best industrial hygiene practice is to maintain exposures below the most protective OEL. Ideally exposures should be kept at least below 50% of the most protective OEL in order to allow for daily fluctuations in airborne contaminant levels. This also provides a margin of safety to ensure compliance under changing conditions. 2 AIR EXTENDED WORK SHIFTS The 90 dBA threshold columns represent the OSHA Criterion Level (CL).

  • Occupational Noise Measurement
    Occupational Noise Measurement Occupational hearing loss is damage to the inner ear from noise or vibrations due to certain types of jobs or entertainment. Occupational hearing loss is a form of acoustic trauma caused by exposure to vibration or sound. Sound is heard as the ear converts vibration from sound waves into impulses in the nerves of the ear. Sounds above 90 decibels (dB, a measurement of the loudness or strength of sound vibration) may cause vibration intense enough to damage the inner ear, especially if the sound continues for a long time. Did you know that occupational hearing loss was an ergonomic type injury? The reason being that if is a cumulative trauma which translates to exposures over time. In order to control and prevent occupational deafness you must be able to measure the exposures. 90 dB -- a large truck 5 yards away (motorcycles, snowmobiles, and similar engines range from 85 - 90 dB) 100 dB -- some rock concerts 120 dB -- a jackhammer about 3 feet away 130 dB -- a jet engine from 100 feet away A general rule of thumb is that if you need to shout to be heard, the sound is in the range that can damage hearing. Some jobs carry a high risk for hearing loss, such as: Airline ground maintenance Construction Farming Jobs involving loud music or machinery Oil rigs Refineries Measuring noise levels and workers' noise exposures is the most important part of a workplace hearing conservation and noise control program. It helps identify work locations where there are noise problems, employees who may be affected, and where additional noise measurements need to be made.

  • Maleic Anhydride
    Maleic Anhydride 108-31-6 Hazard Summary Maleic anhydride is used in the formulation of resins. Exposure to maleic anhydride may occur from accidental releases to the environment or in workplaces where it is produced or used. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of humans to maleic anhydride has been observed to cause irritation of the respiratory tract and eye irritation. Chronic (long-term) exposure to maleic anhydride has been observed to cause chronic bronchitis, asthma-like attacks, and upper respiratory tract and eye irritation in workers. In some people, allergies have developed so that lower concentrations can no longer be tolerated. Kidney effects were observed in rats chronically exposed to maleic anhydride via gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach). EPA has not classified maleic anhydride for carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (6), which contains information on oral chronic toxicity and the RfD, and EPA's Health and Environmental Effects Profile for Maleic Anhydride. (2) Other secondary sources include Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) (1), a database of summaries of peer-reviewed literature, and the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) (3), a database of toxic effects that are not peer reviewed. Uses Maleic anhydride is used primarily in the formation of unsaturated polyester resins for use in boats, autos, trucks, buildings, piping, and electrical goods. Lube oil adhesives synthesized from maleic anhydride are used to prolong oil-change intervals and improve engine efficiency. (2,9) Maleic anhydride is also used to make copolymers, pesticides, and other organic compounds, and in Diels-Alder syntheses.

  • 7 Strategies for Noise Surveys
    7 STRATEGIES FOR NOISE SURVEYS Mr H. Lester* Professor J. Malchaire Unité Hygiène et Physiologie du travail Health and Safety Executive, UK Université catholique de Louvain (UCL Clos Chapelle-aux-Champs 3038 B-1200 Bruxelles BELGIUM [email protected] Mr H.S. Arbey and Mr Thiery Institut National de Recherche et de Securité Avenue de Bourgogne, B.P. No 27 F-54501 Vandoeuvre Cedex FRANCE [email protected] [email protected] 7.1. INTRODUCTION 7.1.1. Definitions Linst designates the instantaneous level indicated by a simple sound level meter set on FAST or SLOW as far as the averaging time is concerned. In recent times the Linst parameter has been. replaced by the A-weighted equivalent level LAeq,T. This is the continuous level which, over a given period of time, T, would give the same amount of acoustical energy as the actual noise. This is the so called ISO equal energy principle. As mentioned in chapter 4, this is different from the so called OSHA principle (USA) according to which an exposure of duration T at a noise level L dB(A) is equivalent to an exposure of duration 2 T at a noise level (L-5) dB(A) (according to the ISO principle, it is equivalent to (L-3) dB(A) during 2 T). Over a given period of time, personal dosimeters (personal sound exposure meters) offer usually the possibility of recording all or some of the following parameters: Lx% the noise level (in dB(A)) exceeded during x% of the time; LMAX the highest level (in dB(A)) exceeded during that period of time (in SLOW and FAST, depending upon the setting of the instrument); Lpeak the highest peak level (in dB).
