NOISE EXPOSURE ESTIMATION

This spreadsheet may be used to calculate the accumulated dose and TWA for a particular job activity,
based on area/equipment noise level data. Two dose and TWA calculations are performed - one for
Hearing Conservation Program purposes, and one for Engineering Noise Control considerations.
JUST FILL IN THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED CELLS WITH THE MEASURED DATA

HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM -


ref: 30 CFR Part 62, Table 62-1 TOTAL ACCUMULATED DOSE: 1.0 %
ref: 29 CFR 1910.95, Table G16a
CALCULATED TWA: 57.1 dBA

ENGINEERING NOISE CONTROLS -


ref: 30 CFR Part 62, Table 62-1 TOTAL ACCUMULATED DOSE: 0.0 %
ref: 29 CFR 1910.95, Table G16a
CALCULATED TWA: 0.0 dBA

Calculations are based on guidelines established by the Mine Safety and Health Administraion (MSHA) and Occupational
Safety & Health Adm. (OSHA) Occupational Noise Exposure Standards 30 CFR Part 62 and 29 CFR 1910.95.

Reference Duration is the amount of time it takes to reach a 100% dose at a certain sound level.

Percent Dose is the percentage of noise exposure received from each noise source.
- For a Hearing Conservation Program (HCP), noise levels from 80 to 130 dBA are used in the calculation of dose.
- For Engineering Noise Control considerations, noise levels from 90 to 130 dBA are used in the calculation of dose.

TWA is the time-weighted average noise exposure in dBA, which is based on 8-hour workshifts.
- The Action Level (50% dose) is a TWA of 85 dBA.
- The Criterion Level (100% dose) is a TWA of 90 dBA.
