Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(k)(1): The employer did not train each employee who is exposed to noise at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.95(k). The employer did not institute a training program and ensure employee participation in the program: a. On or about August 17, 2022, an employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 72.25% of the permissible daily exposure (8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 90 dBA or equivalently, a dose of 100 percent), during the 420 minute sampling period. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 60 minutes not sampled. The employer failed to institute a training program and ensure employee participation in the program for those employees exposed to noise levels measured to be above the action level of 50% of the permissible daily exposure. b. On or about August 17, 2022, an employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 67.31% of the permissible daily exposure (8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 90 dBA or equivalently, a dose of 100 percent), during the 374 minute sampling period. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 106 minutes not sampled. The employer failed to institute a training program and ensure employee participation in the program for those employees exposed to noise levels measured to be above the action level of 50% of the permissible daily exposure.
