Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.95(k)(1):The employer did not train each employee who was exposed to noise at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.95(k). The employer did not institute a training program and ensure employee participation in the program: a) Build Room: A Builder was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level. The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 253.2% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 96.7 dBA. The sampling was performed for 463 minutes during one shift on 5/3/2023. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. b) Build Room: A Builder was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level. The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 316.5% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 98.3 dBA. The sampling was performed for 343 minutes during one shift on 5/3/2023. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. c) Build Room: A Builder was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level. The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 139.1% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 92.4 dBA. The sampling was performed for 396 minutes during one shift on 5/3/2023. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. d) Saw Room: A Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Action Level). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 259.8% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 96.9 dBA. The sampling was performed for 464 minutes during one shift on 5/3/2023. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. e) Saw Room: A Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level. The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 225.9% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 97.3 dBA. The sampling was performed for 395 minutes during one shift on 5/3/2023. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. NOTE: IN ADDITION TO ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION, THE EMPLOYER IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS ITEM. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY OF $1000.00 IN ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1903.19.
