Example
An employee is exposed at these levels for these
periods:
110 dBA for hour
100 dBA for hour
90 dBA for 1 hour
Fe = ( divided by ) + ( divided by 2) + (1
divided by 8)
Fe = 0.500 + 0.250 + 0.188
Fe = 0.938
Since the value of Fe does not exceed unity (1),
the exposure is within permissible limits.
e. Exposure to impulsive or impact noise should
not excedd 140 dB peak sound pressure level.
