Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(j)(1): Hearing protector attenuation. The employer shall evaluate hearing protector attenuation for the specific noise environments in which the protector will be used. The employer shall use one of the evaluation methods described in Appendix B: "Methods for Estimating the Adequacy of Hearing Protection Attenuation." At an establishment located at 5215 Mill Road in Laona, Wisconsin: a) On or about September 13, 2023, in Plant A, the employer did not evaluate the Silenta Bell II earmuffs the Cantek straight-line rip saw operator was using when exposed to noise exceeding 90 dBA as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). The employee was exposed to noise at 293.0 percent dose of the permissible daily dose, or an average sound level of 97.8 dBA, as measured over 480 minutes of sampling of an 8-hour work shift. This dose is equivalent to an 8-hour TWA exposure of 97.8 dBA accounting for the period of 0 minutes unmonitored.
