The evaluation of the noise inside all the departments was made by determining the Equivalent Level for location (Leq), supplemented by analysis of duties and production cycles with the target of establish the daily exposure level (LEX, 8h) of all the Workers. We also performed measurements of the peak sound pressure in order to respect the limits set by law.
.
The limit values of exposure and the action values are fixed at:
Weighted average value (LEX, 8h) Maximum value (ppeak)
values of action lower 80 dB (A) 135 dB (C)
Values action above 85 dB (A) 137 dB (C)
Exposure limits 87 dB (A) 140 dB (C)
