intervals of one second or less the noise is to be considered as a continuous one and the
criteria given in Table 1 shall apply. In other cases, the noise is to be considered as impulsive
or impact noise and the criteria given in table 2 shall apply.
(3) When the daily exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure at
different levels their combined effect should be considered, rather than the individual effect
भाग4(ग) राजस्थानराज-पत्र,जून30,2026 565
of each. The mixed exposure should be considered to exceed the limit value if the sum of the
fraction C1/T1 + C2/T2 +………… Cn/Tn exceeds unity,-
Where the C1, C2 etc. indicate the total time of actual exposure at a specified noise
level and T1, T2, etc. denote the time of exposure permissible at that level. Noise exposure of
less than 90 dBA may be ignored in the above calculation.
(4) Where it is not possible to reduce the noise exposure to the levels specified in sub-clause
(1) above by reasonably practicable engineering control or administrative measures, the noise
exposure shall be reduced to the greatest extent feasible by such control measures, the each
worker so exposed shall be provided with suitable ear protectors so as to reduce the exposure
to noise to the levels specified in sub-clause (1), above.
(5) Where the ear protectors provided in accordance with sub-clause (2) and worn by a
worker cannot still attenuate the noise reaching near his ear, as determined by subtracting the
attenuation value in dBA of the ear protectors concerned from the measured sound pressure
level to a level permissible under Table 1 or Table 2 as the case may be, the noise exposure
period shall be suitably reduced to correspond to the permissible noise exposures specified in
sub- clause (1).
(6) (a) In all cases where the prevailing sound levels exceed the permissible levels specified
in sub- clause (1) there shall be ad-ministered an effective hearing conservation programme
which shall include among other hearing conservation measures, pre-employment and
periodical auditory surveys conducted on workers exposed to noise exceeding the permissible
levels, and rehabilitation of such workers either by reducing the exposure to the noise level or
by transferring them to place where noise levels are relatively less or by any other suitable
means.
(b) Every worker employed in areas where the noise exceeds the maximum permissible
exposure levels specified in sub-clause (1), above, shall be subjected to an auditory
examination by a Medical Officer within 14 days of his first employment thereafter, shall re-
examined at least once, every 12 months. Such initial the periodical examinations shall
include tests which the Medical Officer may consider appropriate, and shall include
determination of auditory thresholds for pure tones on 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and
8000 cycles per second.

cutaneous routes particularly skin, mucous membranes and eyes as the limits specified in
these Tables are for conditions where the exposure is only through respiratory track.
(4) (a) In case, the air at any work location contains a mixture of such substances
mentioned in Table 1, 2 or 3 which have similar toxic properties, the time
weighted concentration of each of these substances during the shift should be
such, that when these time weighted concentration divided by the respective
permissible time weighted average concentration specified in the above
mentioned tables, and the fractions obtained are added together, the total shall not

analysis for such assessment shall be sent to the Inspector-cum-Facilitator within 3 days from
the date of completion of such assess merit and also a record of the same kept readily
available for inspection by an Inspector-cum-Facilitator.
5. Exemption.- If in respect of any factory or a part of factory, the Chief Inspector-cum-
Facilitator is satisfied that, by virtue of the pattern of working time of the workers at different
work location or an account of other circumstances, no worker is exposed, in the air at the
work locations, to a substance or substances specified in Table 1, 2 or 3 to such an extent as
is likely to be injurious to his health, the Chief Inspector-cum-Facilitator may by an order in
writing, exempt the factory or a part of the factory from the requirements in clause 2, subject
to such conditions, if any as he may specify therein.
