“The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there
is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to
determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual
level of exposure of work‐force include the characteristics of the work room, the other sources of
noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and other ad acent processes, and the length of time for
which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from
country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a
better evaluation of the hazard and risk”.
