Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(d)(3):Repeat employee exposure monitoring was not performed whenever a change in production, process, equipment or controls increases noise exposure: Repeat exposure monitoring was not conducted after production increased on lines 1-3 as represented by the sampling results below: a) J Building, Line 3 Station 10: A Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Permissible Exposure Limit). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 244.6% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 96.5 dBA. The sampling was performed for 445 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. b) J Building, Line 2 Station 10: A Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Permissible Exposure Limit). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 104.9% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 90.4 dBA. The sampling was performed for 445 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. c) J Building, Line 1 Station 10: A Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Permissible Exposure Limit). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 108.2% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 91.4 dBA. The sampling was performed for 445 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. d) J Building, Line 1 Station 8: A Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Permissible Exposure Limit). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 141.9% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 93.0 dBA. The sampling was performed for 445 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time.
