Schedule XXV

Operations Involving High Noise Levels

Application. - This schedule shall apply to all operations in any manufacturing process having high noise level.
Definitions. - For the purpose of this Schedule-

(a) "Noise" means any unwanted sound;
(b) "High noise level" means any noise level measured on the A-weighted scale is90dB above;
(c) "Decibel" means one-tenth of "Bel" which is the fundamental division, of a logarithmic scale used to express the ratio of two specific or implied quantities, the number of "Bels" denoting such a ratio being the logarithm to the base of 10 of this ratio. The noise level or the sound pressure level corresponds to a reference pressure of 20 x 10-6 new tons per square metre or 0.0002 dynes per square centimetre which is the threshold of hearing, this is, the lowest sound pressure level necessary to produce the sensation of hearing in average healthy listener. The decibel in abbreviated form in dB;
(d) "Frequency" means the rate of pressure variations expressed in cycles per second or hertz;
(e) "dBA" refers to sound level in decibels as measured on a sound level metre operating on the A-weighting net work with slow metre response.

छत्तीसगढ़ राज्यपत्र, दिनांक 27 मई 2021 614 (463)

(f) "A-weighting" means making graded adjustments in the intensities of sound of various frequencies for the purpose of noise measurements, so that the sound pressure level measured by an instrument reflects the actual response of the human ear to the sound measured. 3. Protection against noise. - (1) In every factory suitable engineering control or administrative measure shall be taken to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that no worker is exposed to sound levels exceeding the maximum permissible noise exposure levels specified in Tables 1 and 2 below :- Table 1 Permissible Exposure in Case of continuous Noise | Total time of exposure (continuous or number of short term exposures) per day, in hours | Sound pressure level in dBA. | | --- | --- | | (1) | (2) | | 8 | 90 | | 6 | 92 | | 4 | 95 | | 3 | 97 | | 2 | 100 | | 1 ½ | 102 | | 1 | 105 | | ¾ | 107 | | ½ | 110 | | ¼ | 115 | Note. - (1) No exposure in excess of 115 dBA is to be permitted.

(2) For any period of exposure falling in between any figure and the next high or lower figure as indicated in column 1 the permissible sound pressure level is to be determined by extrapolation on a proportionate basis

614 (464)

छत्तीसगढ़ राजपत्र, दिनांक 27 मई 2021

Table 2 Permissible Exposure levels for Impulsive or Impact Noise | Peak sound pressure level in dB | Permitted number of impulses or impact per day | | --- | --- | | (1) | (2) | | 140 | 100 | | 135 | 315 | | 130 | 1000 | | 125 | 3160 | | 120 | 10000 | Note. - (1) No exposure in excess of 140 dB peak sound pressure level is permitted. (2) For any peak sound pressure level falling in between any figure and the next higher or lower figure as indicated in column1, the permitted number of impulses or impact per day is to be determined by extrapolation on a proportionate basis. (2) For the purpose of this schedule, if the variations in the noise level involve maximum at intervals of one second or less, the noise is to be considered as a continuous one and the criteria; given in Table 1 would apply. In other cases, the noise is to be considered as impulsive or impact noise and the criteria given in Table 2 would apply. (3) When the daily noise-exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure at different levels their combined effect should be considered, rather than the individual effect of each. The mixed exposure should be considered to exceed the limit value if the sum of functions C1+ T1 + C2+ T2 + CN + TN

छत्तीसगढ़ राज्यपाल, दिनांक 27 मई 2021 614 (465)

exceeds unity,- Where the C1, C2, etc. indicate the total time of actual exposure at a specified noise level and T1, T2, etc. denote the time of exposure permissible at that level. Noise exposure of less than 90 dBA may be ignored in the above calculation. (4) Where it is not possible to reduce the noise exposure to the levels specified in sub-paragraph (1) by reasonably practicable engineering control or administrative measures, the noise exposure shall be reduced to the greatest extent feasible by such control measures, and each worker so exposed shall be provided with suitable ear protectors so as to reduce the exposure to noise to the levels specified in sub-paragraph (1). (5) Where the ear protectors provided in accordance with sub-paragraph (4), and worn by a worker cannot still attenuate the noise reaching near his ear, as determined by subtracting the attenuation value in dBA of the ear protectors concerned from the measured should pressure level, to a level permissible under Table 1 or Table 2 as the case. 4. Medical Examination-(1) Every worker employed in the process of this schedule shall be examined by a medical officer. He shall issue fitness on form 29. (2) If at any time the medical officer is of the opinion that a worker is no longer fit for employment in the these processes on the ground, that continuance therein would involve danger to the health of the worker, he shall make a record of his findings in the said certificate and the health register form 30. The entry of his findings in those documents shall also include the period for which he considers that the said person is unfit for work in the said process. The person declared unfit in such circumstances shall be provided with alternate placement facility unless he is fully incapacitated in the opinion of the medical officer, in that case the person affected shall be suitably rehabilitated. (3) No person who has been found unfit to work as said in sub-paragraph (6) shall be re-employed or permitted to work in the said processes unless the medical officer, after further examination, again certifies him fit for employment in those processes. (4) The record of the examinations shall be maintained and kept readily available for inspection by the Inspector cum facilitator and Medical Inspector cum facilitator.

(a) ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air, or ;
(b) have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limits. Note : The flammability shall be determined by tests or by calculation in accordance with methods adopted by International Standards Organization ISO Number 10156 of 1990 or by Bureau of Indian Standard ISI Number 1446 of 1985.
(ii) extremely flammable liquids : chemicals which have flash point lower than or equal to 23°C and boiling point less than 35°C.
(iii) very highly flammable liquids : chemicals which have a flash point lower than or equal to 23°C and initial boiling point higher than 35°C.
(iv) highly flammable liquids : chemicals which have a flash point lower than or equal to 60°C but higher than 23°C.
(v) flammable liquids : chemicals which have a flash point higher than 60°C but lower than 90°C.
(c) Explosives : explosives mean a solid or liquid or pyrotechnic substance (or a mixture of substances) or an article.
(a) which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings;
(b) which is designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non-detonative self sustaining exothermic chemical reaction.
