Noise Advanced: Ontario Annex
Operational Overview
If you've just come from the British Columbia annex, park what you learned there for a moment. Ontario runs its own dedicated noise regulation, and it isn't shaped the same way.
Ontario Regulation 381/15 sets a single exposure limit, not a two-threshold structure. It also takes a genuinely strict line on when hearing protection is even allowed to be the primary control. And it has a real gap that catches people out: unlike some other Canadian jurisdictions, Ontario doesn't legally require audiometric testing.
This annex sits on top of your Noise Advanced foundation course. It doesn't repeat general noise physics or the standard hierarchy of controls. It confirms how Ontario's specific, binding rule actually works.

Instructional Objectives
- One Threshold, One Number. Know Ontario's 85 dBA Lex,8 limit and how it differs in shape from a two-threshold jurisdiction.
- Controls With Teeth. Apply Ontario's restriction on when hearing protection can be the primary control.
