The U.S. Government´s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1½ 102
1 105
½ 110

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could
result in some hearing loss.
Ear plug protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating
this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure
is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as
this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately
from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities
