29 CFR 1910.95(c)(1): The employer did not administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program as described in 29 CFR 1910.9(c) through (o) whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 decibels measured on the A scale, or equivalently a dose of fifty percent: a. Location: Stone Cutting Building On or about June 1, 2016, an employee who was crushing stone and wet cutting stone was exposed to a noise level of 89 decibels on the A weighted scale for an 8 hour Time weighted Average. The sampling was performed for 226 minutes, zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled time period. No hearing conservation program was in place. b. Location : Stone Cutting building On or about June 1, 2016, an employee who was wet cutting stone was exposed to a noise level of 95 decibels on the A weighted scale for an 8 hour Time weighted Average. The sampling was performed for 213 minutes, zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled time period. No hearing conservation program was in place. c. Location: Stone Cutting building On or about June 1, 2016, an employee who was wet cutting stone was exposed to a noise level of 87 decibels on the A weighted scale for an 8 hour Time weighted Average. The sampling was performed for 211 minutes, zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled time period. No hearing conservation program was in place.
