When possible, engineering controls such as equipment isolation, enclosure or insulation shall be implemented to reduce the amount of noise generated by equipment. When engineering controls are not adequate or practical, administrative controls involving worker rotation and reducingthe amount of time that workers are exposed may be implemented. Personal Protective Equipment including ear muffs, inserted and similar devices with suitable noise attenuation ratings shall be implemented.
