How is WBGT index calculated? |
using dry bulb, wet bulb, and globe temperature |
|
What factors contribute to susceptibility to heat stress |
dehydration, lack of sleep, illness, use of medication, drugs, alcohol, and presence of atmospheric contaminants |
|
The MDR should |
review all engineering and non-engineering heat stress surveys to determine obvious inaccuracies, reduced PHEL stay times, and any personnel protective actions being taken |
|

on submarines |
|
WBGT formula |
(0.1 x DB) + (0.7 x WB) + (0.2 x GT) = WBGT |

what is the navy occupational exposure level for naval personnel? |
-an 8 hour time-weighted average of 84 decilbels on the A-weighted scale for frequencies of 20 to 16,000 Hertz |
|
How long should a record of noise measurements be kept by the measuring activity? |
50yrs |
|
define noise hazard |
any work area where the A-weighted sound level (continuous or intermittent) is routinely greater than 84 dB(A) |
|
when may someone be removed from the hearing conservation program |
when the individual is exposed to less than 70 percent noise dose or has an 8-hr TWA of less than 82 dB(A) or recommended by qualified physician |

500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 6000 |
|
significant threshold shift |
a change of 15 dB or greater at any test frequency from 1000 to 4000 in either ear, or a change in hearing averaging 10 dB or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz in either ear |
|
who determines when an STS is permanent? |
an audiologist or appropriately trained physician |
|
