29 CFR 1910.95(g)(1): The employer did not establish and maintain an audiometric testing program as provided by 29 CFR 1910.95(g) by making audiometric testing available to all employees whose exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels: Location - production area On or about March 28, 2019, an employee in the shop 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 97.3dB (80 threshold) as an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA), which was equivalent to 278.8% (80 threshold) of the permissible daily noise exposure during 457 minutes sampling period and zero exposure was assumed for the un-sampled time period. The employee has not received an audiometric test.
