This definition clarifies the requirement that employee exposure must be measured as if no respiratory protection is being worn. The definition, which is consistent with OSHA's previous use of the term in other standards, did not generate any comment and is unchanged from the proposal.
Employee exposure means exposure to noise measured with a noise measuring equipment at a position which most closely approximates with the noise levels at the head position of the employee during normal operation;
