Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(8)(ii)(B): When standard threshold shifts occurred, the employer did not ensure that employees already using hearing protectors were refitted and retrained in the use of hearing protectors and/or provided with hearing protectors offering greater attenuation if necessary.
