Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(8)(ii)(B): Unless a physician determines that the standard threshold shift is not work-related or aggravated by occupational noise exposure, the employer did not ensure, when a standard threshold shift occurs, that for employees already using hearing protectors, employees be refitted and retrained in the use of hearing protectors and provided with hearing protectors offering greater attenuation if necessary: Employees exposed to noise exposure levels which exceeded the action level of 85 dbA were not refitted with hearing protection with greater attenuation or retrained on the use of hearing protectors after employer was notified of their possible standard threshold shift.
