What it contains
Noises from hand-held tools, like grinders, pedestals and bench grinders, can exceed noise exposure standards, making them dangerous for workers. This document advises workplaces how to manage noise by:
following a hierarchy of control measures
finding alternatives to using grinders, such as buying pre-cut or pre-fabricated materials
improving production processes to use quieter grinders
