“In the 1999 TL Vs and BEIs Guidebook. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists has recommended that pregnant workers beyond the fifth month may cause hearing loss to their child if exposed to noise in excess of 115 dB for an 8-hour time weighted average or peak exposure to 155 dB. The firing of a .38 pistol will likely exceed this level. Therefore. any female firearms examiners should be made aware of this potential problem.”
