3 LEGAL INSTRUCTIONS
Operating a guitar amplification system can produce extremely high noise levels that may cause a
permanent hearing loss. The legal instructions for using an amplification system vary from country to
country. The user must always inform himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply
them to his situation.
Always monitor the sound pressure level when operating an amplification system in discotheques,
concerts etc. Never exceed the permissible noise level exposures as specified by your authorities.
The monitoring of the noise levels must be documented in an appropriate way.
In Germany, the following instructions are binding:
Strafgesetzbuch § 3 ff: bundesrecht.juris.de/bundesrecht/stgb
TA Lärm: www.umweltdaten.de
DIN 15905-5: www.din.de
Arbeitsstättenverordnung § 15: www.lgl.bayern.de/arbeitsschutz
Berufsgenossenschaftliche Vorschrift BGV B3: www.pr-o.info
VDI-Richtlinie: VDI 058 Blatt : www.vdi.de
Hearing damage caused by high noise levels can be treated as physical injury and persecuted by
law.
Please note that the organizer is responsible for keeping to a specified noise level. If this noise level
will be exceeded, the event may be cancelled immediately.
If the organizer does not fulfil his safety duties, he is reliable by civil law for any damages occurred,
e.g.:
Pay the treatment costs of the damaged person.
Pay a smart money to the damaged person.
Economic damage caused can be demanded from the operator of the amplification system.
If hired persons work with amplification systems: the noise levels of music events are almost always
too high. This is why the entrepreneur has to set up warning signs and provide hearing protectors.
The staff has to use these.
