

Engineering: redesign tools, implement changes in workstation



Administrative: job sharing/rotations, redefinition of job functions, reduce duration
operating tool/equipment, and/or implement medical surveillance

2. Setting-up your dosimeter parameters for your noise studies.



Customize measurement setup (i.e., criterion level, threshold, weighting,

exchange rate, etc.)
