Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(1): The employer shall establish and maintain an audiometric testing program as provided in this paragraph by making audiometric testing available to all employees whose exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels. a. The employer did not develop and implement an audiometric testing program for employees working in the sandblasting area. A sandblaster employee was exposed to continuous noise at 402.5% on February 7, 2019, which exceeded the action limit (AL) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 100.1 dBA during the 478 minute sampling period. Time weighted average includes a zero increment for the 29 minutes not sampled.
