In-Class Activity
Your company is purchasing an additional piece of
manufacturing equipment. You have two choices. One
brand generates 91 dB(A); another brand costs 10%
more but generates 88 dB(A). You determine that the
current level of noise in the production area is 88 dB(A).
The workers are on 8-hour shifts. The OSHA 8-hour
noise limit for the area is 93 dB(A). The company has
been doing well and has thoughts of expanding
production at this location in the near future. Determine
which piece of equipment to purchase.
