Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
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) Entire Facility: Range Safety Officers (RSOs) who were observing/instructing customers shooting inside the shooting range were exposed to noise levels in excess of the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit of 90 dBA on 5/12/18. Employees were exposed to continuous noise levels ranging from 91.1 dBA to 100.7 dBA as an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA), which was equivalent to 117.9% to 441.2% of the Permissible Exposure Limit. The sampling times ranged from 365 minutes to 480 minutes and zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. The employee did not develop and implement an effective hearing conservation program; on or about 5/12/18.
