Noise Exposure Management Tool

This document provides an exposure calculator to help calculate daily noise exposure levels for up to eight jobs or tasks. Users enter the noise level in dB and exposure duration in hours for each job or task. The calculator then calculates total daily exposure level and compares it to regulatory exposure action values. It instructs users to round noise levels to the nearest dB and durations to the nearest 15 minutes for sufficient precision in the calculations.
