On October 26, 2022, an employee was exposed to 152.2% of the noise dose which is equivalent to approximately 93 decibels. The employee was sampled for approximately 376 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the remaining 104 minutes. b) At the facility, where the employer did not administer a hearing conservation program. On October 26, 2022, an employee was exposed to 72.9% of the noise dose which is equivalent to approximately 87.7 decibels. The employee was sampled for approximately 461 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the remaining 19 minutes. c) At the facility, where the employer did not administer a hearing conservation program. On October 26, 2022, an employee was exposed to 57.8% of the noise dose which is equivalent to approximately 86.0 decibels. The employee was sampled for approximately 384 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the remaining 96 minutes. d) At the facility, where the employer did not administer a hearing conservation program. On October 26, 2022, an employee was exposed to 50.1% of the noise dose which is equivalent to approximately 85.0 decibels. The employee was sampled for approximately 375 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the remaining 105 minutes.
