Estimated noise exposure = workplace noise level in dBA NRR Be conservative when using NRRs
31
Some examples
Example 1
Ear plugs with NRR of 25 dBA exposure = 105 dBA 105 minus 25 = 80 dB therefore okay
Example 2
Same plugs exposure = 125 dBA 125 minus 25 = 100 dB not acceptable; must be below 90 dB
