§ 25 Noise and acoustics
Onshore facilities shall be designed so that no employees are exposed to noise that is harmful to hearing.
Limit values for hazardous noise are for daily noise exposure, LEX8h = 85 dB and the peak sound pressure level, LpC, peak = 130 dB.
Requirements shall be set for noise and acoustics in the individual areas based on planned manning and the functions that shall be safeguarded in the areas. The noise level and acoustics shall not preclude communication of significance to safety. The noise level in sleeping quarters, break rooms and recreation rooms shall be reduced as much as possible to contribute to necessary rest and restitution.
