29 CFR 1910.95(c)(1): The employer did not administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program as described in 29 CFR 1910.9(c) through (o) whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 decibels measured on the A scale, or equivalently a dose of fifty percent: At a Miami International Airport jobsite located at 2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33126, the employer did not administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program whenever employee noise exposures equaled or exceeded the 8-hour time-weighted average action level of 85 decibels measured on the A scale, or equivalently a dose of fifty percent. The following monitored employees exceeded the action level (all exposure calculations included a zero increment for the time not sampled): a) A ramp agent was exposed to a continuous noise of 87.5 dBA or the equivalent noise dose of 71% during the 369 minute sampling period on or about July 10, 2019. b) A ramp agent was exposed to a continuous noise of 88.1 dBA or the equivalent noise dose of 77.2% during the 462 minute sampling period on or about July 17, 2019.
