Engineering Control: Noise Reduction

Engineering controls that reduce sound exposure levels are available and
technologically feasible for most noise sources. Engineering controls involve modifying
or replacing equipment, or making related physical changes at the noise source or
along the transmission path to reduce the noise level at the worker's ear. In some
instances the application of a relatively simple engineering noise control solution
reduces the noise hazard to the extent that further requirements of the OSHA Noise
standard (e.g., audiometric testing (hearing tests), hearing conservation program, and
provision of hearing protectors) are not necessary. Examples of inexpensive, effective
engineering controls include some of the following:

 Choose low-noise tools and machinery.

 Maintain and lubricate machinery and equipment (e.g., oil bearings).
 Place a barrier between the noise source and employee (e.g., sound walls or
curtains).
 Enclose or isolate the noise source.

1. Concrete Control
A.

Impact reducing sound insulation, supplied in rolls composed of granulated extra

resilient EPDM rubber bonded to a tough, non-woven waterproof backing. G8 is a
specifically formulated resilient insulation designed to specifically comply with the
requirements of the Approved Document E. In particular with regard to the following:

Maximum dynamic stiffness - Minimum thickness under loading

Weighted reduction in impact sound pressure level (∆Lw) of not less than 29dB
B. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel

EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is a kind of

lightweight energy saving wall material,
which uses cement calcium silicate or
reinforced calcium silicate board as
face panel, filled with cement,
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam
particles, and as core material and
forming by one time compound.
