## Description

This MCP server provides professional tools for evaluating workplace acoustic risks. It allows for calculating the noise dose from individual events using `calculate_single_task_exposure`, aggregating multiple noise sources with `calculate_cumulative_exposure`, and retrieving regional regulatory thresholds via `get_regulatory_limits`. It also determines necessary hearing protection levels through `assess_protection_needs` based on calculated Time-Weighted Averages (TWA).

## Tools

### assess_protection_needs
Determines if hearing protection is required and suggests the necessary reduction level

### calculate_cumulative_exposure
Aggregates multiple noise events into a total daily exposure profile

### calculate_single_task_exposure
Calculates the noise dose contributed by a single, continuous noise event

### get_regulatory_limits
Provides the standard thresholds for noise exposure based on regional regulations

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the noise dose for a 90 dB sound lasting 30 minutes?
```

**Response:** 
```
The noise dose for a 90 dB sound lasting 30 minutes is 12.5%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the cumulative exposure for two tasks: 85 dB for 60 minutes and 95 dB for 15 minutes.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total dose is 43.75% and the 8-hour TWA is 88.5 dB.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If the 8-hour TWA is 88 dB and the USA action level is 85 dB, is protection needed?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, hearing protection is required. A recommended attenuation of 3 dB is needed to bring the exposure below the action level.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the total daily noise exposure?**
You can use `calculate_cumulative_exposure` by providing an array of all noise tasks, including their sound levels and durations.

**Does this tool support European regulations?**
Yes, you can use `get_regulatory_limits` with the region set to 'Europe' to retrieve the correct action levels and exchange rates.

**How can I tell if a worker needs earplugs?**
After calculating the 8-hour TWA, use `assess_protection_needs` with the appropriate regional action level to determine if protection is required.
