Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001C Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.95(k)(1): The employer did not train each employee who is exposed to noise at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.95(k): a. On or about March 31, 2021, an employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 75.98% of the permissible daily exposure (8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 90 dBA or equivalently, a dose of 100 percent), during the 391 minute sampling period. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 89 minutes not sampled. Training was not provided for the keg line operator who was exposed to noise levels measured to be above the action level of 50% of the permissible daily exposure. b. On or about March 31, 2021, an employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 70.18% of the permissible daily exposure (8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 90 dBA or equivalently, a dose of 100 percent), during the 420 minute sampling period. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 60 minutes not sampled. Training was not provided for the data collector who was exposed to noise levels measured to be above the action level of 50% of the permissible daily exposure.
