Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(6): At least annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram, the employer did not obtain a new audiogram for each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels : a. On or about April 5, 2016, a Quest NoisePro Dosimeter (sn: NLI120009) was placed on an employee performing polishing operations for a total of 470 minutes. The employee was exposed to noise at 67.95% of the permissible daily noise exposure level, with an equivalent time-weighted average sound level of 87.2 dBA. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 10 minutes not sampled. b. On or about April 5, 2016, an Quest NoisePro Dosimeter (sn: NLI120010) was placed on an employee performing profiling operations for a total of 469 minutes. The employee was exposed to noise at 67.56% of the permissible daily noise exposure level, with an equivalent time-weighted average sound level of 87.1 dBA. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 11 minutes not sampled. On or about April 5, 2016, employees exposed to noise above the action level while performing polishing and profiling operations had not received an annual audiogram.
