Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(6): At least annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram, the employer did not obtain a new audiogram for each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels : On or about March 31, 2021, an employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 84.49% of the permissible daily exposure (8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 90 dBA or equivalently, a dose of 100 percent), during the 436 minute sampling period. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 44 minutes not sampled. A new audiogram for the bottling line operator, who was exposed to noise levels measured to be above the action level of 50% of the permissible daily exposure, was not conducted annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram.
