Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
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: Location - production area On or about March 28, 2019, an employee was exposed to noise levels exceeding the 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 85dBA while operating air blowing gun. The employee was exposed to continuous noise level of 97.3dBA as an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA), which was equivalent to 278.8% of the permissible daily noise exposure during 457 minutes sampling period and zero exposure was assumed for the un-sampled time period. The employer did not develop and implement a hearing conservation program.
