The workman digging a hole in the road who accidentally but carelessly hits an electric cable causing a power cut can foresee that many factories may lose production and profit as a result of the failure of the electricity supply, but the result is so disproportionate to the act and the chance of such huge damages being met so remote, the law, as a matter of policy, gives no remedy to the factory owners for such pure economic loss; the judges say it is too remote, or as a matter of policy it should not be recoverable. 3, record 3, English, - pure%20economic%20loss

Il en est ainsi du travailleur qui [...] sectionne accidentellement, mais par négligence, un câble électrique et cause une panne de courant. Il lui est possible de prévoir que la panne d'électricité interrompra la production de plusieurs usines et fera perdre de l'argent à celles-ci, mais ce résultat est tellement disproportionné à l'acte, et les chances qu'il puisse payer pareils dommages-intérêts si éloignées, que la loi, par principe, n'accorde aux propriétaires d'usine aucun recours pour une telle perte purement financière.

Dosimeters. The OSHA [Occupational Safety and Health Act] law requires characterization of varying noise environments by a single number criteria. The environment may be that experienced by a mobile employee whose work takes him into many different factory areas, or it may be a fixed work area where intermittent machine operations produce unpredictable variations in noise level. OSHA specifies a maximum daily noise dose(D) of unity :... where C is the total exposure at a given steady dBA level and T is the maximum allowable exposure time at that level during a 8-hour work day.... Noise dose can be predicted for mobile workers by studying their movements and estimating the total time they are exposed to each different dBA level they experience. 2, record 6, English, - noise%20dose

Representative Exposure. Measurements of an employee’s noise dose or 8-hour time-weighted average sound level that the employer deems to be representative of exposures of other employees in the workplace. ... I. Computation of Employee Noise Exposure. (a) Noise dose is computed using Table A-1 as follows: When the sound level, L, is constant over the entire work shift, the noise dose, D, in percent, is given by: D = 100 C/T where C is the total length of the work day, in hours, and T is the reference duration corresponding to the measured sound level, L, as given in Table A-1 or by the formula shown as a footnote to that table. 3, record 6, English, - noise%20dose
