* The values stated are emission values and as such do not necessarily constitute values which are safe for the workplace. Although there is a correlation between emission levels and environmental impact levels, whether further precautions are necessary cannot be derived from this. Factors influencing the actually present environmental impact level in the workplace include the characteristics of the work area and other noise sources, i.e. the number of machines and other neighbouring work processes. The permitted workplace values can likewise vary from country to country. This information is intended to assist the user in his estimate of hazards and risks.
