Welcome to Quest Technologies Popquiz Challenge!
Take the test and you may win a NoisePro DL Unit!
Here is a sneak peek at questions 1 & 2.
1) Under U.S. OSHA regulations, the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) of
occupational noise is 90 dBA for eight hours and equates to 100% dose
exposure. The Action Level to place employees in a hearing conservation
program is 85 dBA during an eight hour shift. What is the percentage
dose exposure of the Action Level?
(a) 90%
(b) 85%
(c) 50%
(d) 95%
2) Do some workers risk puncturing their eardrums with insert type ear
plugs?
(a) Yes, you must be very careful not to push the earplug in too far.
(b) No, it's not likely since ear plugs are less than 3/4 inch long and
the eardrum lies more than 1 inch deep inside the curvy ear canal.
(c) Yes, but only if inserting on a hot and humid day and pushing extra
hard to insert.
(d) No, the eardrum is too tough for earplugs to puncture it.
