PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 308:2021 Agricultural Structures – Lairage - Swine ICS 65.040.20 PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 308:2021 ICS 65.040.20 Agricultural Structures – Lairage – Swine BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES STANDARDS BPI Compound Visayas Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines Trunkline: (632) 928-8741 to 64 loc. 3301-3319 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.bafs.da.gov.ph  PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS__:2021 Agricultural Structures – Lairage - Swine ICS 65.040.20 Foreword With the endorsement of the Philippine Agricultural Engineering Standards (PAES) Task Force, the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (BAFS) undertook the revision of the PAES Agricultural Structures – Lairage for Swine, Small and Large Animals (PAES 410:2000) in 2017. Technical Working Group (TWG) were created through Special Order (SO) No. 487, series of 2017 (Creation of the Technical Working Group for the development of PNS for Cattle Restrainer and for the revision of PAES for Slaughterhouse and Lairage) and SO No. 322, series of 2019 (Creation of Technical Committee and Technical Working Group for Agriculture and Fishery Products and Machinery Tools and Equipment). These TWGs were composed of representatives from the government agencies, academe, and private sector. The revised PAES, which is now a BAFS PNS, is divided into two (2) parts: Swine and Ruminants. The PNS for Agricultural Structure – Lairage – Swine aimed to provide guidance to national and local authorities, engineers and other technical personnel, traders, processors, and other relevant stakeholders on the design of lairage for slaughterhouse of swine intended for human consumption. The final draft standard was reviewed through a series of stakeholder consultations conducted via online platforms. This BAFS/PNS edition includes the following significant changes relative to the previous PAES 410:2000: 1. Revision on the scope of the standard to focus on swine; 2. Removal of the provisions in the standard pertaining to ruminants; 3. Inclusion of additional terms and definitions in Clause 3 – Terms and Definitions; 4. Inclusion of Clause 7 - Construction and Structural Requirements; 5. Amendment of provisions for unloading area, lighting, drainage, fences, gates and dividers, chute, storage of supplies, and waste disposal; 6. Amendment of Annex A; 7. Inclusion of typical lairage drainage design attached as Annex B; 8. Inclusion of sample concrete cover for drainage canal attached as Annex C; and 9. Inclusion of Occupational Safety and Health Standard (OSHS) Rule 1074.01- 1074.03 requirements attached as Annex D. This Standard cancel and replaces the provisions for swine recommended by PAES 410:2000 – Agricultural Structures Lairage for Swine, Small and Large Animals. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.  PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 308:2021 Agricultural Structures – Lairage - Swine ICS 65.040.20 Contents Foreword.....................................................................................................................ii 1 Scope..................................................................................................................... 2 2 Normative References........................................................................................... 2 3 Terms and Definitions............................................................................................ 2 4 Location................................................................................................................. 4 5 Space Requirements.............................................................................................. 4 6 Functional Requirements....................................................................................... 4 7 Construction and Structural Requirements............................................................ 8 Annex A.................................................................................................................... 12 Annex B.................................................................................................................... 14 Annex C................................................................................................................... 15 Annex D................................................................................................................... 16 Bibliography............................................................................................................. 18 1  PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 308:2021 Agricultural Structures – Lairage - Swine ICS 65.040.20 1 Scope This standard specifies the general requirements of lairage for swine.

Feasible administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized when workers are exposed to sound levels exceeding those specified in Table 2 hereof when measured on a scale of a standard sound level meter at slow response. If such controls fail to reduce sound within the specified levels, ear protective devices capable of bringing the sound level to permissible noise exposure shall be provided by the employer and used by the worker. A.2 Permissible Noise Exposure A.2.1 The values specified in Table 2 apply to total time of exposure per working day regardless of whether this is one continuous exposure or a number of short-term exposures but does not apply to impact or impulsive type of noise. Table 2 - Permissible noise exposure Duration per day, hours Sound Levels [dB(A)], slow response 8 90 6 92 4 95 3 97 2 100 1½ 102 1 105 ½ 110 ¼ 115 A.2.2 If the variation in noise level involves maximum intervals of one (1) second or less, it shall be considered as continuous. If the interval is over one (1) second, it becomes impulse or impact noise. A.2.3 When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered rather than the effect of each. If the sum of Equation A exceeds one (1), then the mixed exposure should be considered to exceed the threshold limit value. However, the permissible levels found in the table shall not be exceeded for the corresponding number of hours per day allowed. Noise exposures of less than 90 dBA are not covered by Equation A. 16 PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 308:2021 Agricultural Structures – Lairage - Swine ICS 65.040.20 𝐶1 𝐶2 𝐶3 𝑋= + + (𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐴) 𝑇1 𝑇2 𝑇3 where: X is the sum of the ratios of C and T C is the total time of exposure at a specified noise level T is the total time of exposure permitted at the level A.2.4 Exposures to impulsive or impact noise shall not exceed 140 dB (A) peak sound pressures level (ceiling value). 17  PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 308:2021 Agricultural Structures – Lairage - Swine ICS 65.040.20 Bibliography Department of Agriculture (DA).
