    • NIOSH establishes Recommended Exposure Limits (REL) for noise at 85 dBA over 8 hours, considered hazardous.
    • OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) is set at 90 dBA for all workers over an 8-hour workday.
    • Occupational standards express the maximum allowable daily noise dose in percentages; 85 dBA (NIOSH) or 90 dBA (OSHA) constitutes 100% of daily noise dose.
    • Noise above 140 dB is not permitted.
    • Noise Dose can be calculated as ( C = \frac{T}{T_{allowed}} ) where C is calculated exposure time and ( T_{allowed} ) is authorized exposure time.
