What this inspection record means
OSHA opens inspections for many reasons: routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

29 CFR 1910.95(k)(1): The employer did not train each employee who was 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): The employer did not provide training for employees who were exposed to noise levels above the OSHA Action Level of 85 decibels (dBA) or 50% of the daily dose and above the OSHA PEL of 90 dBA or 100% of the daily dose: (a) The teardown saw operator was exposed to continuous noise levels at 235% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 235% is approximately 96.2 dBA. The sampling was performed for 437 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 43 minutes. (b) The notcher saw operator/saw room floater was exposed to continuous noise levels at 186.9% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 186.9% is approximately 94.5 dBA. The sampling was performed for 438 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 42 minutes. (c) The saw room operator was exposed to continuous noise levels at 146.8% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 146.8% is approximately 92.8 dBA. The sampling was performed for 443 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 37 minutes. (d) The saw room/assembly operator was exposed to continuous noise levels at 140.8% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 140.8% is approximately 92.5 dBA. The sampling was performed for 443 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 37 minutes. (e) The pallet handbuilder was exposed to continuous noise levels at 142.6% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 142.6% is approximately 92.6 dBA. The sampling was performed for 467 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 13 minutes. (f) The teardown saw operator was exposed to continuous noise levels at 131.3% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 131.3% is approximately 92.0 dBA. The sampling was performed for 445 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 35 minutes. (g) The Champion Viking #2 operator was exposed to continuous noise levels at 77.2% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (85 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 77.2% is approximately 88.1 dBA. The sampling was performed for 457 minutes during one shift on November 10, 2011. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of time, 23 minutes. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence, or written records.
