Issued pursuant to
Section 25, Clauses 13 and 18 of the Labour Protection Law

I. General Provisions

1. The Regulation prescribes the labour protection requirements for the protection of employees from the risk caused by the noise of the work environment especially if hearing impairment of an employee is possible.

2. The Regulation shall apply to employees in all fields of employment in which employees are or may be exposed to the risk caused by noise.

3. The employer shall be liable for compliance with this Regulation.

4. In accordance with the Labour Protection Law, the employer shall consult with employees or trusted representatives thereof in the field of labour protection, including matters related to the noise of the work environment, as well as ensure the participation of employees in the resolution of the relevant matters.

5. The compliance with this Regulation shall be controlled by the State Labour Inspectorate.

II. Assessment and Measurement of Risk Caused by Noise

6. An employer shall ensure assessment of the risk caused by noise in conformity with the procedures for internal supervision of the work environment and risk assessment of the work environment of an undertaking involving trusted representatives and employees.

7. If in the inspection of workplaces it has been determined that noise causes or may cause a risk to the safety and health of an employee, the employer shall provide noise measurements and assessment of risk caused by noise.

8. Noise measurements shall first be taken at workplaces in which after the initial (first) inspection of workplaces it has been determined that noise causes or may cause a risk to the safety and health of employees.

9. Methods and measuring equipment utilised in noise measurements shall be adjusted to particular circumstances, most especially to the nature of the noise to be measured, the duration of exposure thereof and factors of the work environment. Methods utilised for noise measurement shall also be adjusted to the special features of measuring equipment.

10. Methods utilised in noise measurements shall include selection of measuring points in conformity with the particular circumstances and situation in which an employee is exposed to noise in daily work (all installations and other work equipment shall be switched on, employees shall be at their workplaces as on a normal working day). Noise shall be measured and assessed in conformity with the noise measuring procedures specified in Annex 1 of this Regulation.

11. When using calibrated acoustic measuring equipment and observing the procedures for noise measurement specified in Annex 1 to this Regulation, noise measurements shall be carried out by specialists certified by institutions that have been accredited in the State agency Latvian National Accreditation Bureau in conformity with the standard LVS EN ISO/IEC 17024:2005 "Conformity assessment - General requirements for bodies operating certification for persons" and regarding which the Ministry of Economics has published a notification in the official gazette Latvijas Vēstnesis, or by laboratories that have been accredited in the State agency Latvian National Accreditation Bureau in conformity with the standard LVS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories" and regarding which the Ministry of Economics has published a notification in the official gazette Latvijas Vēstnesis (hereinafter - the performer of noise measurements).

[8 April 2008]

12. In order to assess the risk caused by noise to employees, the following shall be determined:

12.1. peak sound pressure (ppeak) - maximum value of the noise "C" frequency curve weighted instantaneous noise pressure (hereinafter - the peak level);

12.2. daily noise exposure level (LEX, 8h) (dB(A) in relation to 20µPa) - time-weighted average value during noise exposure levels in an eight-hour working days (hereinafter - the noise level) in conformity with Sub-paragraph 3.6 of the standard LVS ISO 1999:2007 "Acoustics - Determination of occupational noise exposure and estimation of noise induced hearing impairment". The abovementioned noise level shall include all the noise in a work environment, including impulse noise.

[8 April 2008]

13. If during a working week the noise level at one and the same work place may substantially differ every day, for assessment of the noise level the employer is entitled to substitute the daily noise exposure level by an average daily level of weekly noise exposure (time weighted noise exposure level for a five-day (40 hours) working week in conformity with Sub-paragraph 3.6 of the standard LVS ISO 1999:2007 "Acoustics - Determination of occupational noise exposure and estimation of noise-induced hearing impairment", observing the following requirements:

13.1. continuous noise level monitoring shall be performed throughout the week, and the weekly noise exposure level shall not exceed the exposure limit value 87 dB(A);

13.2. the employer shall submit results of the noise level monitoring and explanations regarding the necessity of such substitution to the State Labour Inspectorate;

13.3. the employer shall ensure appropriate labour protection measures that reduce to a minimum the risk caused by noise and ensure the safety and health protection of employees.

[8 April 2008]

14. After becoming acquainted with the information provided by the employer referred to in Sub-paragraph 13.2 of this Regulation, the State Labour Inspectorate is entitled to prohibit the substitution of a noise exposure level with an average daily noise exposure level for a week if:

14.1. such substitution causes a risk to the safety and health of employees;

14.2. any of the requirements referred to in Paragraph 13 of this Regulation has been violated;

14.3. there is reason to believe that the results of continuous noise level monitoring performed during a week are not precise;

14.4. such working conditions do not exist that support the necessity of such substitution.

15. The following noise exposure limit values and exposure action values shall be determined:

15.1. exposure limit value:

LEX, 8h = 87 dB(A) and ppeak = 200 Pa (Lpeak= 140 dB) respectively;

15.2. upper exposure action value:

LEX, 8h = 85 dB(A) and ppeak = 112 Pa (Lpeak= 135 dB) respectively;

15.3. lower exposure action value:

LEX, 8h = 80 dB(A) and ppeak = 112 Pa (Lpeak= 135 dB) respectively;

16. In determining the noise level and the activity values, the effect of the use of personal hearing protective equipment shall not be taken into consideration. In assessing whether the employee is not exposed to the noise level exceeding noise exposure limit value (87 dB(A)), the effect of the use of personal hearing protective equipment shall be taken into consideration.

[8 April 2008]

17. The risk caused by noise shall be assessed not less frequently than once a year, as well as when a new workplace has been created or substantial changes in work environment have occurred (work processes, methods, work equipment, utilisation of substances and products or production thereof change) that may increase the referred to risk.

18. On the basis of the risk assessment and inspection of technical documentation of installations, including maintenance documentation, referred to in Paragraph 17 of this Regulation, the noise level shall be measured if there are grounds to believe that, in comparison with the previous results of workplace inspection, the noise level has increased and causes or may cause risk to the safety and health of the employees, but not less than once every three years.

[18 December 2012]

19. The risk caused by noise shall be additionally assessed and noise measurements shall be taken in the following cases:

19.1. after the performance of labour protection measures to ascertain that the risk caused by noise has been prevented or reduced to the permissible level;
