     le fonctionnement.

16.

 Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. 

Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, 

but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense 

noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level 

exposures shown in the following chart.

  According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could 

result in some hearing loss. 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 use hearing 

protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the 

ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in 

order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits 

set forth here:
