The employer must provide hearing protection from 80 dB average daily exposure OR from 135 dB impulse noise (short sound event).
Hearing protection must be worn permanently if the average daily exposure exceeds 85 dB OR if the impulse noise exceeds 137 dB.
The SNR value (36 for this product) indicates the attenuation of the noise in dB.
This reduced by 5 (legal value for fluctuations) is subtracted from the actual noise level.
The correction value of 5 dB is intended, for example, to compensate for leakage due to incorrect wearing and can be disregarded if employees are instructed quarterly.
The target range for noise with hearing protection is between 70 and 80 dB, i.e. good protection and yet not completely deaf to warning signals and the like.
Example calculation:
Hearing protection 36dB: 80 dB (upper limit of target range) + 36dB (attenuation) - 5dB (legal fluctuation surcharge) = 111dB maximum volume
With additional regular instruction, a maximum volume of 111 dB + 5 dB = 116 dB is possible.
