"Non-sterile natural rubber latex gloves for dentistry"

This specification covers non-sterile rubber latex gloves suitable for dentistry. This revision is designed to bring the specification into conformance with revisions to ASTM D-3578 that have occurred since it was issued and reflect the advances in glove technology embodied in these revisions.

"Methods for the Measurement of Insertion Loss of Hearing Protection Devices in Continuous or Impulsive Noise Using Microphone-in-Real-Ear or Acoustic Test Fixture Procedures"

This standard specifies microphone-in-real-ear (MIRE) methods for the measurement of the insertion loss of active and passive circumaural earmuffs, helmets, and communications headsets, and specifies acoustic test fixture (ATF) methods for the measurement of the insertion loss of active and passive earplugs, earmuffs, helmets, and communications headsets.

"Methods of Estimating Effective A-Weighted Sound Pressure Levels When Hearing Protectors are Worn"

This standard specifies three methods, in ascending order of complexity of use and potential accuracy, for the estimation of the sound pressure levels that are effective when a hearing protector is worn. The application of the procedures in turn requires an estimate of the real-ear attenuation of the device for groups of users and an estimate of the noise levels to which the users are exposed. The simplest method is the Noise Level Reduction Statistic for use with A-weighting (NRSA) that can be directly subtracted from an A-weighted sound level or sound exposure estimate. A more accurate procedure is the Noise Level Reduction Statistic, Graphical (NRSG) that requires measurements of both the A- and C-weighted sound levels or exposures, and the application of a set of graphical data. Potentially the most accurate approach is the octave-band method utilizing the octave-band real-ear attenuation and noise measurement data. Each of the simplified ratings, the NRSA and NRSG, is to be computed at both the 80th and 20th percentiles to reflect the range of performance to be expected based on the variation in the attenuation data.

"Personal Fall Protection Used in Construction and Demolition Operations"

This standard establishes safety requirements and performance criteria for active fall protection systems and their associated equipment used in construction and demolition. This includes guidelines for the planning, configuration, selection, installation, user training, operation, inspection and maintenance of equipment that is utilized in active fall protection systems. These systems create a personal interface with the worker via fitted equipment worn on the body while performing construction and demolition tasks at heights.

"The Fall Protection Code - Part of the Fall Protection Code"

The Fall Protection Code is a set of standards that covers program management; system design; training; qualification and testing; equipment, component and system specifications for the processes used to protect workers at height in a managed fall protection program. This standard identifies those standards and establishes their role in the Code and their interdependence.
