TABLE 2. PERMISSIBLE NOISE EXPOSURE

If the sum of Equation A exceeds one (1), then the mixed exposure should be considered to
exceed the threshold limit value. However, the permissible levels found in the table shall
not be exceeded for the corresponding number of hours per day allowed. Noise exposures
of less than 90 dBA are not covered by Equation A.

X = (C1/T1) + (C2/T2) + (C3/T3) EQUATION A

WHERE: X is the sum of the ratios of C and T

C is the total time of exposure at a specified noise level
T is the total time of exposure permitted at the level
