The mixed exposure should be considered to exceed the limit value if the sum of the fraction C₁/T₁ + C₂/T₂ + ………… Cₙ/Tₙ 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-clause (1) above by reasonably practicable engineering control or administrative measures, the noise exposure shall be reduced to the greatest extent feasible by such control measures, the 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-clause (1), above. (5) Where the ear protectors provided in accordance with sub-clause (2) 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 sound pressure level to a level permissible under Table 1 or Table 2 as the case may be, the noise exposure period shall be suitably reduced to correspond to the permissible noise exposures specified in sub-clause (1). (6) (a) In all cases where the prevailing sound levels exceed the permissible levels specified in sub-clause (1) there shall be ad-ministered an effective hearing conservation programme which shall include among other hearing conservation measures, pre-employment and periodical auditory surveys conducted on workers exposed to noise exceeding the permissible levels, and rehabilitation of such workers either by reducing the exposure to the noise level or by transferring them to place where noise levels are relatively less or by any other suitable means. (b) Every worker employed in areas where the noise exceeds the maximum permissible exposure levels specified in sub-clause (1), above, shall be subjected to an auditory examination by a Medical Officer within 14 days of his first employment thereafter, shall re-examined at least once, every 12 months. Such initial the periodical examinations shall include tests which the Medical Officer may consider appropriate, and shall include determination of auditory thresholds for pure tones on 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 cycles per second.
