Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(d)(1): When information indicated that any employee's exposure equaled or exceeded the 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels, the employer did not develop and implement a monitoring program: The employer did not develop and implement a noise monitoring program for employees with noise exposures exceeding the Action Level of 85 dBA as an 8-hour time weighted average working in the following areas: a) Chrome mill: A mill operator was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Action Level). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 129.8% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 91.8 dBA. The sampling was performed for 406 minutes during one shift on 6/2/16.
