Have you seen our Howard Leight Noise Thermometer?
We have mapped out noise levels of occupational and non-occupational activities on a thermometer with associated permissible exposure and action levels. Employers use it to communicate noise exposure risks in a way that everyone can quickly and easily understand. In fact, it’s one of our most popular learning tools.
Forkift? 87 dB
Industrial Fire Alarm? 95 dB
Jackhammer? 130 dB
Stadium? 117 dB
Artillery Fire? 162 dB
Pig Squeal? 130 dB
You'll soon realize that attending an auto race for an afternoon may expose you to just as much noise as operating a jackhammer (without proper protection) on the job.
You get the idea. Take a look for yourself. You can download a copy of the Howard Leight Noise Thermometer in a variety of languages for use in the Americas, Europe and Australia. Just visit http://www.hearforever.org/tools-to-educate/noise-thermometer
