CHOICE OF THE EYE PROTECTOR
Selecting an appropriate eye protection fora given risk is vital. If not performed properly,the effectson the user’seye canrangefrom a nuisance to serious injury orlossof vision.Be sure that the spectacles you handle have been tested and the meet with thepoint 7.1.2. Optical requirements on the Standard EN 166. Ifso, on the CE Type certificate, it will be shown the Optical Quality X, and that it is according to the EN 166, that means, to all the points of the Standard”.

Exposure limit values | LEX, 8h = 87 dB (A) & Ppeak = 200 Pa (1) | Exposure limit values must not be exceeded |
Exposure upper values | LEX, 8h = 85 dB (A) & Ppeak = 140 Pa (2) | Ear protectors must be used. Compulsory |
Exposure lower values | LEX, 8h = 80 dB (A) & Ppeak 112 Pa (3) | Manager could give worker ear protectors. Optional |
CHOICE OF THE EAR PROTECTOR
According to the Directive 2003/10/EC ofthe 06/05/2003, published the 15/02/2003and applicable from 2006, the users willhave the appropriate ear protector up to the constant noise of 80 dB. Beyond this security limit could appear injuries.
Essential to know the Ear Protector:
Calculation to choose the most suitable Protector:
Noise: 100dB - SNR: 27 dB = 73 dB*
* (Suitable protection at less than 80 dB)
* IMPORTANT:No go down from 65 dB Overprotection risk
