Exposure Calculator Noise Level (L DB) Exposure Duration (Hours)

This document provides instructions for using an exposure calculator to assess daily noise exposure levels from multiple jobs or tasks. It explains that the user can enter noise level and duration data for up to eight separate jobs or tasks in the white cells. The calculator will then display the overall daily personal noise exposure level (LEP,d) as well as exposure points for each entry. Exposure points can help prioritize noise control efforts for the highest contributing jobs or tasks.

Total duration Daily noise exposure (LEP,d) Instructions for exposure calculator

Enter the LAeq (in dB) and select the daily exposure duration (in hours) in the white areas for up to eight jobs or tasks car Rounding noise levels to the nearest decibel and durations to the nearest 15 minutes (0.25 hours) is sufficiently precise. Exposure points will appear for each entry and the overall daily personal noise exposure (LEP,d) will be displayed. The Lower Exposure Action Value (an LEP,d of 80 dB) is represented by 32 exposure points, the Upper Exposure Action Reference: Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, Schedule 1 Part 1

Exposure points (job/task)

Exposure points per hour Note: Exposure points can be used to prioritise noise control. The highest exposure points are given by the jobs, tasks, etc. which make the greatest contributions to daily noise exposure. Therefore, tackling these noise exposures will have the greatest effect on daily noise exposure.
