Respondent.- As the Board stated in adopting the noise regulations:
Rule 208(b) (901.107(b)) exempts warning and safety devices from the numericallimitations.- Not covered by the exception would be devices which may in

contemplated by Section 901.107(b).- The Board’s contrary finding seems to be an
infringement upon an area controlled by OSHA regulations. ... |
