Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007D Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(k)(1):The employer did not train each employee who is exposed to noise at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.95(k): a) J Building, Engine Dismantling: A Engine Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Action Level). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 66.83 % of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 87.0 dBA. The sampling was performed for 494 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. b)J Building, Engine Dismantling: A Engine Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Action Level). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 66.33 % of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 87.1 dBA. The sampling was performed for 487 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. c) J Building, Engine Dismantling: A Engine Dismantler was exposed to continuous noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (Action Level). The employee's dosimeter dBA level was 92.35% of the permissible level (90 dBA) and was equivalent to approximately 89.2 dBA. The sampling was performed for 494 minutes during one shift on 10/5/21. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time. d) 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. e) 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. f) 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. g) 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.
