Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.95(c)(1): The employer did not administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program as described in 29 CFR 1910.9(c) through (o) whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 decibels measured on the A scale, or equivalently a dose of fifty percent: On or about December 13, 2013, the employer did not institute an effective hearing conservation program for employees exposed to noise levels in excess of the allowable 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) sound level of 85 dBA. Noise sampling performed on an employee engaged in Teflon chopping for 484 minutes indicated that the employee was exposed to a 220.1% dose of the action level requiring a hearing conservation program and a 201.3% dose of the permissible exposure limit.
