29 CFR 1910.95(g)(7)(i): Each employee's annual audiogram was not compared to that employee's baseline audiogram to determine if the audiogram is valid and if a standard threshold shift as defined in 29 CFR 1910.95(g)(10) has occurred: a) Picking Room - On or about May 4, 2016, the employer did not compare the overexposed employee's new annual audiogram with his baseline audiogram to determine that a 10 decibel (dB) Standard Threshold Shift had occurred when that employee was exposed to occupational noise above the Permissible Exposure Limit and sustained an age-adjusted Standard Threshold Shift average of 13.33 dB in the right ear in 2016. b) First Processing - On or about May 4, 2016, the employer did not compare the overexposed employee's new annual audiogram with his baseline audiogram to determine that a 10 decibel (dB) Standard Threshold Shift had occurred when that employee was exposed to occupational noise above the Permissible Exposure Limit and sustained an age-adjusted Standard Threshold Shift average of 63.33 dB in the right ear and 16.67 dB in the left ear in 2016. c) First Processing - On or about May 4, 2016, the employer did not compare the overexposed employee's new annual audiogram with his baseline audiogram to determine that a 10 decibel (dB) Standard Threshold Shift had occurred when that employee was exposed to occupational noise above the Permissible Exposure Limit and sustained an age-adjusted Standard Threshold Shift average of 21.33 dB in the right ear in 2016. d) First Processing - On or about May 4, 2016, the employer did not compare the overexposed employee's new annual audiogram with his baseline audiogram to determine that a 10 decibel (dB) Standard Threshold Shift had occurred when that employee was exposed to occupational noise above the Permissible Exposure Limit and sustained an age-adjusted Standard Threshold Shift average of 36.67 dB in the right ear and 40.00 dB in the left ear in 2015. e) First Processing - On or about May 4, 2016, the employer did not compare the overexposed employee's new annual audiogram with his baseline audiogram to determine that a 10 decibel (dB) Standard Threshold Shift had occurred when that employee was exposed to occupational noise above the Permissible Exposure Limit and sustained an age-adjusted Standard Threshold Shift average of 14.33 dB in the right ear and 16.00 dB in the left ear in 2015. f) First Processing - On or about May 4, 2016, the employer did not compare the overexposed employee's new annual audiogram with his baseline audiogram to determine that a 10 decibel (dB) Standard Threshold Shift had occurred when that employee was exposed to occupational noise above the Permissible Exposure Limit and sustained an age-adjusted Standard Threshold Shift average of 21.67 dB in the right ear in 2015.
