Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
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: A) MagReTech, LLC located at 301 County Road 177 in Bellevue, Ohio. On or about May 25, 2023, 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 were equal to or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels. Employees working within the melt room were exposed to noise greater than 90 decibels. Failure to maintain and ensure audiometric testing for employees whose exposures are greater than 85 decibels exposes employees to Standard Threshold Shifts not able to be identified. This can contribute to chronic hearing loss and other irreversible audiometric conditions.
