29 CFR 1910.95(d)(1)(ii): Where circumstances such as high worker mobility, significant variations in sound level, or a significant component of impulse noise make area monitoring generally inappropriate, the employer shall use representative personal sampling to comply with the monitoring requirements of this paragraph unless the employer can show that area sampling produces equivalent results: (a) Southern Foods Group LLC DBA Dillon Dairy at 5512 Leetsdale Dr. in Denver, CO: Where circumstances such as high worker mobility, significant variation in sound level, or a significant component of impulse noise make area monitoring generally inappropriate, the employer did not use representative personal sampling to comply with the monitoring requirements of this paragraph. Historical noise levels provided by the dairy were measured by area with a Quest sound level meter. Data was collected in October 2010 and May 2002 and recorded in units of "DcB". Full shift personal monitoring, such as dosimetry, was not conducted. This conditions exposed employees to a noise hazard. Abatement Note: Noise must be measured on the A scale of a standard sound level meter (or dosimeter) using the slow response setting. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Certification of Corrective Action Worksheet").
