The lions are standing back-to-back in the traditional arrangement.
The central lion facing forward has:
- Rounded ears
- Large circular eyes
- A prominent nose
- An open mouth
- A stylized mane rendered with repeated curved and vertical line patterns
The lions on the left and right are partially visible, showing their heads, front legs, and portions of their manes.

In the center of the lower portion is a wheel with spokes, resembling the Ashoka Chakra.
On either side of the wheel are carved animal figures in a stylized form, though the exact animals are not fully clear due to the small size and image quality.

Sub schedule 25

“Operations involving High Noise and Vibration levels

Part-A High Noise Levels:

1. Application – This part of the schedule shall apply to all operations in any manufacturing process having high noise level.
1. Definitions- For the purpose of this schedule –
(a) “Noise” means any unwanted sound.
(b) “High Noise level” means any noise level measured on the weighted scale is 85 dB or above.
(c) “Decibel” means one-tenth of “Bel” which is fundamental division of a logarithmic scale used to express the ratio of two specified 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) 6 corresponds to a reference pressure of 20x10 Newton per square meter or 0.0002 dynes per square centimetre which is the threshold of hearing, that is, the lowest sound pressure level necessary to produce the sensation of hearing in average healthy listeners. The decibel is abbreviated for is dB.
(d) “Frequency” is the rate of pressure variations expressed in cycles per second or hertz.

झारखण्ड गजट (असाधारण) गुरुवार, 27 अगस्त, 2021 142

(e) “dB A” refers to sound level in decibels as measured on sound level meter operating on the A-weighting net work with slow meter response.
(f) “A-weighting” means making graded adjustmentin the intensities of sound of various frequencies for the purpose of noise measurement, so that the sound pressure level measured by an instrument reflects the actual response of the human ear to the sound measured.
1. Protection against noise –
(1) In every factory a suitable engineering control or administrative measures shall be taken to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that no worker is exposed to sound levels exceeding the maximum permissible noise exposure levels specified in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 Permissible exposure in cases of continuous noise Sound Exposure Levels

| Total time of exposure (continuous short term exposures) | Sound pressure level in or a number of Db A per day, in hours | | --- | --- | | 8 | 85 | | 6 | 87 | | 4 | 90 | | 3 | 92 | | 2 | 95 | | 1 ½ | 97 | | 1 | 100 | | ¾ | 102 | | ½ | 105 | | ¼ | 110 | Notes: 1. No exposure in excess of 110 dBA is to be permitted.

2. For any period of exposure falling in between any figure and the next higher or lower figure as indicated in column I, the permissible sound pressure level is to be determined by extrapolation on a proportionate basis. Table 2 Permissible exposure levels of impulsive or impact noise | Peak sound pressure level in dB | Permitted number of impulses or impact per day | | --- | --- | | 140 | 100 |

ड्जारखण्ड गजट (असाधारण) गुरुवार, 27 अगस्त, 2021

2. For any peak sound pressure level falling in between any figure and the next higher or lower figure as indicated in column I, the permitted number of impulses or impacts 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 intervals of one second or less, the noise is to be considered as a continuous one and the criteria given in Table I 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 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 the fractions The image shows a mathematical expression on a white background with a thin black rectangular border around the entire image.

(a) The quantities set out below relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installation is not sufficient to avoid unforeseeable circumstances, any aggravations of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.
(b) For the purpose of determining the quantity of a hazardous chemical is an industrial installation, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is:-
(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it;
(ii) at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which is within 500 metres of the said site; and
(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 meters of it; but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft used for transporting it. Where this chemical is in a state which gives it properties capable of creating a major accident hazard.
(a) This applies to ammonium nitrate and mixtures of ammonium nitrate where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 percent by weight and to adequate solutions of ammonium nitrate where the concentration of ammonium nitrate is greater than 90 percent by weight.
(b) This applies to straight ammonium nitrate fertilizers and to compound fertilizers where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 percent by weight (a compound fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate together with phosphate and/or potash).
