Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(c)(1): The employer did not administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program as described in 29 CFR 1910.95(c) through (o) whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 decibels measured on the A scale, or equivalently a dose of fifty percent: On October 15, 2018, the blaster was exposed to continuous noise levels at 158.3% of the permissible daily exposure (8-hour, time-weighted average sound level of 85 dbA or equivalently, a dose of 50 percent), during the 145 minute sampling period. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 335 minutes not sampled.
