About the Noise Meeting Sheet
This Noise Meeting Sheet is crucial for workers exposed to high noise levels, emphasizing the importance of proper hearing protection to prevent long-term and permanent damage. Hearing hazards, classified under the four "P"s - Preventable, Painless, Permanent, Progressive - demonstrate the stealthy nature of hearing loss, which can worsen undetected over time. This guide introduces the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) system, explaining how to select the appropriate hearing protection based on the decibel levels of workplace noise, which range from whispers at 30 dB to gunshots at 140 dB. The sheet details the Time-weighted average (TWA) formula to calculate safe exposure over an eight-hour shift and stresses the necessity of double protection when noise levels exceed safe thresholds.
