The dosimeter selected for this research was the Larson-Davis Spark. TM. 705+ dosimeter. This dosimeter was used because it is capable of measuring and recording dose with four separate noise criteria and capable of sampling at a 1-second interval over 13 hours. (3) The dosimeters were setup as shown in Table 1. The results from the OSHA ...
