Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(i)(5): The employer did not ensure proper initial fitting and supervise the correct use of all hearing protectors: On or about March 26, 2019, at the jobsite located at 3373 NW 107th St, Miami, FL 33167, the employer failed to ensure that employees who are exposed to noise, exceeding an 8-hour time-weighted average Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 90 decibels, when doing grinding and/or blending of metals, correctly insert and wear their ear plugs. The following monitored employees exceeded the PEL (all exposure calculations included a zero increment for the time not sampled): a) A welder was exposed to continuous noise of 92 dBA or the equivalent noise dose of 132.5% during the 407 minute sampling period on March 26, 2019. b) A bench mechanic was exposed to continuous noise of 93.6 dBA or the equivalent noise dose of 166% during the 349 minute sampling period on June 28, 2019.
