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 1910.95(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) Tablet Machine Operator: An employee was monitored over 7 hours 16 minutes and was exposed to continuous noise at 87.9 decibels averaged over 8-hours with zero exposure averaged for any unsampled time. The equivalent dose was 74.8% of OSHAs Permissible Exposure Limit for Noise, which is 90 decibels. The employer did not administer a hearing conservation program, thus exposing the employee to irreversible hearing loss, on or about September 5, 2019.
