Section 2.21.1
Disposition versions
2.21.1. This subdivision sets noise exposure limits, means for evaluating the daily noise exposure level and peak sound pressure level in an establishment, and the standards applicable.
The provisions of this subdivision are intended to eliminate or reduce noise at source or, at a minimum, to reduce workers’ exposure to noise.
They also specify the reasonable means that an employer must implement to eliminate or reduce noise at source, comply with the noise exposure limits, and reduce workers’ exposure to noise. They specify the workplace situations in which the wearing of hearing protectors is necessary.
For the purposes of this subdivision, “workplace situation” means a trade or a representative function of a worker or group of workers that includes all the tasks and activities of the worker or group of workers, and takes into account the workplace.
