Hey everyone,
So, i just got a job as an unloader about a month ago. I was wondering if anyone knows about the OSHA standards for noise exposure. I went to OSHA's site and the wording is a bit hard to understand...but it seems that the max one can be exposed to is 85 dB. How loud is that, and do you think its common place for it to reach this level when unloading a feeder? A couple of days ago i left with a hum in my ears so im a bit concerned. I meant to talk to my safety guy, but i keep forgetting because we are so busy.
-thanks,
Chris
