29 CFR 1910.95(k)(2): The training program was not repeated annually for each employee included in the hearing conservation program: a) Production The employer did not provide annual noise training for all employees at or above the action level of 85 dBA as an 8 hour time weighted average. An employee working in production was exposed to continuous noise levels at 82.4% of the permissible daily noise exposure (8 hour Time Weighted Average sound level of 90 dBA) which is 0.82 times the allowable exposure limit. The action level is 85 dBA. The equivalent sound level of the measured dose is 88.5 dBA. Sampling was performed for 477 minutes on 8/3/16, with the unsampled portion of time considered to represent zero for the exposure calculation. The employee had noise training 6/9/15 but missed the training on 6/1/16. No make up training was provided by the company. Violation occurred on or about 6/1/16.
