OSHA 1910.95(b)(1)
Occupational Noise Exposure
Released by: U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
www.osha.gov
Paragraph 1910.95(b) (1)
When employees are subjected to sound exceeding those listed in Table G-16, feasible administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized. If such controls fail to reduce sound levels within the levels of Table G-16, personal protective equipment shall be provided and used to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table.
In Other Words
Controls need to be utilized when employees are subjected to sound exceeding listed levels; otherwise protective equipment must be utilized.
Compliance of CEJN Pneumatic Safety Products
CEJN's Series 208 blowgun with a Star-Tip complies by reducing noise levels down to 85 dB(A) or less.
CEJN vented safety couplings comply by disconnecting in two stages, thereby reducing noise.
Table G-16-Permissible Noise Exposures (1)
Duration per Day, Hours Sound Level dB(A) Slow Response
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1½ 102
1 105
½ 110
¼ or less 115
Footnote (1): 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 individual effect of each. If the sum of the following fractions: C(1) / T(1) + C(2) / T(2) C(n) / T(n) exceeds unity, then, the mixed exposure should be considered to exceed the limit value. Cn indicates the total time of exposure at a specified noise level, and Tn indicates the total time of exposure permitted at that level. Exposure to impulsive or impact noise should not exceed 140 dB peak sound pressure level.
OSHA 1910.95(c)(1)
Occupational Noise Exposure
Released by: U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
www.osha.gov
Paragraph 1910.95(c) (1)
The employer shall administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program, as described in paragraphs (c) through (o) of this section, whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (TWA) of 85 decibels measured on the A scale (slow response) or, equivalently, a dose of fifty percent. For purposes of the hearing conservation program, employee noise exposures shall be computed in accordance with appendix A and Table G-16a, and without regard to any attenuation provided by the use of personal protective equipment.
In Other Words
Whenever noise exposure levels exceed an 8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 85 dB(A), employers should implement a noise conservation program, in order to protect employees from hearing damage.

OSHA Instruction STD 01-13-001
Reduction of Air Pressure below 30 PSI for Cleaning Purposes
Reductie van luchtdruk tot beneden 30 PSI voor reinigen
Uitgegeven door:U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
www.osha.gov
3. Interpretation
The phrase "reduce to less than 30 PSI (2 bar)" means that the downstream pressure of the air at the nozzle (nozzle pressure) or opening of a gun, pipe, cleaning lance, etc., used for cleaning purposes will remain at a pressure level below 30 PSI for all static conditions. The requirements for dynamic flow are such that in the case when dead ending occurs, a static pressure at the main orifice shall not exceed 30 PSI. This require-
ment is necessary in order to prevent a back pressure buildup in case the nozzle is obstructed or dead ended. There is no intent to restrict the diameter of the nozzle orifice or the volume (CFM) flowing from it.
"Effective chip guarding" means any method or equipment, which will prevent a chip or particle (of whatever size) from being blown into the eyes or unbroken skin of the operator or other workers. Effective chip guarding may be separate from the air nozzle, as in the case where screens or barriers are used. The use of protective cone air nozzles are acceptable in general for protection of the operator; but barriers, baffles or screens may be required to protect other workers if they are exposed to flying chips or particles.
In Other Words
When dead-ending occurs, static pressure at the main orifice should not exceed 30 PSI.
Compliance of CEJN Pneumatic Safety Products
