THE NEED FOR ESTABLISHING A MAXIMUM NOISE LEVEL STANDARD

摘要

A maximum noise level standard is needed to protect op¬erators from being subjected to hazardous noise levels which can cause a permanent loss of hearing. The lack of an in¬dustry-wide standard, the increased noise levels produced by today's vehicles, and the wide variations in the limits on existing standards further emphasize the need for an enforce-able, industry-wide maximum noise level standard.
