Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(6): At least annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram, the employer did not obtain a new audiogram for each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels : At the facility, the employer did not conduct annual audiogram testing to establish a baseline audiogram to employees exposed to high levels of noise. a) trim area: On or about April 26, 2018, employees conducting trim activities near the robotic trim area were exposed to continuous noise at 175.2% of the permissible daily noise exposure (8-hour Time Weighted Average sound level of 85 dBA) during the 475 minute sampling period and were not included in the hearing conservation program. For a full eight hour work shift this exposure is equivalent to an average sound level of 94.0 dBA. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 5 minutes not sampled. b) trim area: On or about April 26, 2018, employees conducting trim activities were exposed to continuous noise at 73.94% of the permissible daily noise exposure (8-hour Time Weighted Average sound level of 85 dBA) during the 478 minute sampling period and were not included in the hearing conservation program. For a full eight hour work shift this exposure is equivalent to an average sound level of 87.8 dBA. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 2 minutes not sampled. c) Solid Surface, rear building: On or about April 26, 2018, employees conducting trim activities were exposed to continuous noise at 92.78% of the permissible daily noise exposure (8-hour Time Weighted Average sound level of 85 dBA) during the 480 minute sampling period and were not included in the hearing conservation program. For a full eight hour work shift this exposure is equivalent to an average sound level of 89.4 dBA. d) Solid Surface, rear building: On or about April 26, 2018, employees conducting trim activities were exposed to continuous noise at 85.98% of the permissible daily noise exposure (8-hour Time Weighted Average sound level of 85 dBA) during the 480 minute sampling period and were not included in the hearing conservation program. For a full eight hour work shift this exposure is equivalent to an average sound level of 88.9 dBA.
