Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(c)(1): A continuing, effective hearing conservation program as described in 29 CFR 1910.95(c) through (n) was not instituted when employee noise exposures equaled or exceeded an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) sound level of 85 dBA: Galion, LLC located at 515 N. East Street in Galion, Ohio: On or about June 13, 2023, employees working within the ACME room were exposed to noise greater than 90 decibels. Failure to implement an effective hearing conservation program for employees whose exposures are greater than 85 decibels, exposes employees to Standard Threshold Shifts, chronic hearing loss, and other irreversible audiometric conditions.
