Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.52(d)(1): In all cases where the sound levels exceeded the values shown in Table D-2 of 29 CFR 1926.52, a continuing, effective hearing conservation program was not administered: On June 25, 2024, on the fourth floor of the courthouse, an effective hearing conservation program was not administered for employees who were exposed to workplace noise at an 8-hour time-weighted-average (TWA) sound level of 99.4 dBA, or equivalently a noise dose of 368.8% during demolition operations. The noise monitoring result was derived from a personal sampling time of 373 minutes and a non-sampled time of 107 minutes was assumed to be a zero exposure period.
