Sound Level: Noise known as amajor health hazardisspot specific in case of underground miningwhere the operators are exposed to continuous background noise while high level short duration noise peaks are common in case of surface mining. The human ear is most sensitive in 2 to 5 KHz range and less sensitive in high and low frequencies.

Themanagement of noise from mining operationsis recognized as a fundamental responsibility of the mining industry. Implementing a noise management system that includes noise surveys, day and night noise mitigation, and some level of noise monitoring is a primary function that is required to meet environmental impact standards in most locations. Some potential noise sources from a mining …

Jan 08, 2015· The most critical areas for attention regarding hazardousmining noiseinclude the face areas of underground coal mines (43% of workers were shown to experiencenoiseexposures above permissiblelevels) and coal preparation plants (over 53%; Bauer et al., 2006). Mine surfaces tend to pose less of a direct risk to workers.

Prior legislation had not been updated for 20 years. The following key requirements were established within thenoiserule. Requires mine operators to use all feasible engineering and administrative controls to reduce minersnoiseexposure to the "permissible exposurelevel(PEL). Hearing protectors are not permitted in lieu of such controls.

Aug 15, 2013· Be aware that if noise levels are high enough, rotation could increase the chances of hearing loss in more workers. If there is a regular noise level of 90 dB, for example, a healthy worker in the area can rotate into an area with a 50-dB noise level without a substantial increase in risk of hearing loss.

We recordnoise levelsin decibels, or dBA. The higher thenoise level, the louder thenoise. You can listen to sounds at 70 dBA or lower for as long as you want. Sounds at 85 dBA can lead to hearing loss if you listen to them for more than 8 hours at a time. Sounds over 85 dBa can damage your hearing faster. The safe listening time is cut in ...
