133. The employer must, every 5 years, evaluate each workplace situation that exceeds the exposure limits to determine the reasonable means that would eliminate or reduce noise at source, allow the limits established pursuant to section 131 to be respected, or, at a minimum, reduce workers’ exposure to noise.
In the year following the evaluation, the employer must begin to implement all the means needed to eliminate or reduce the noise at source. If they are not sufficient to ensure compliance with the exposure limits, the employer must implement the other means that are necessary in order to respect the exposure limits. The means must be fully implemented before the start of the next 5-year evaluation.
