Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(g)(1): The employer did not establish and maintain an audiometric testing program as provided by 29 CFR 1910.95(g) by making audiometric testing available to all employees whose exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels: a. On or about November 10, 2016, at the yard, an audiometric testing program was not established for abrasive blasting employees exposed to workplace noise in excess of an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 dBA or equivalently a noise dose of 50%. An abrasive blasting employee was exposed to an 8-hr TWA of 108.5 dBA, or equivalently a noise dose of 1293%. The noise monitoring result was derived from a personal sampling time of 123 minutes and a non-sampled time of 357 minutes, was assumed to be a zero noise exposure period.
