You are the industrial hygienist for a facility that currently uses two 200-ton presses in a separate building at the plant. You have performed personal sampling with noise dosimeters and recorded time weighted average (TWA) exposures at 88 decibels on the A scale (dBA). Your management indicated that it is closing three smaller facilities in different cities and moving three presses, two 200-ton presses and one 400-ton press, from those facilities to your facility and increasing your production levels. The three new presses will be placed inside the building alongside your existing presses. Sampling data from the three facilities indicate noise exposures associated with the presses are 88 dBA, 89 dBA, and 92 dBA. Management informs you that the old presses must be used, and they will not purchase any newer presses to replace any of the five presses
