Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(k)(1):The employer did not train each employee who is 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) MagReTech, LLC located at 301 County Road 177 in Bellevue, Ohio. On or about May 25, 2023, employees working within the melt room were exposed to noise greater than 85 decibels at a 12-hour time-weighted average. Employees were exposed to noise that reached 100 decibels at a 12-hour time-weighted average during personal noise dosimetry sampling. Failure to ensure employees are trained on the hazards associated with hazardous noise and participate with the hearing conservation programs can contribute to chronic hearing loss, Standard Threshold Shifts, and other irreversible audiometric conditions.
