General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1926.52(b): When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in Table D-2 of this section, feasible administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized. If such controls fail to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table, personal protective equipment as required in Subpart E, shall be provided and used to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table. a. On or about June 25, 2013, at the above addressed jobsite, an employee was conducting jackhammering operations on concrete. The employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 693% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90dBA). The equivalent dBa level of 693% is approximately 103.96 dBA, thereby exposing the employee to hearing loss. b. On or about June 25, 2013, at the above addressed jobsite, an employee was conducting jackhammering operations on concrete. The employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 521% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90dBA). The equivalent dBa level of 521% is approximately 101.91 dBA, thereby exposing the employee to hearing loss. c. On or about June 25, 2013, at the above addressed jobsite, an employee was conducting jackhammering operations on concrete. The employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 478% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90dBA). The equivalent dBa level of 478% is approximately 101.29 dBA, thereby exposing the employee to hearing loss. d. On or about June25, 2013, at the above addressed jobsite, an employee was conducting jackhammering operations on concrete. The employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 362% of the allowable 8-hour time weighted average sound level (90dBA). The equivalent dBa level of 362% is approximately 99.28 dBA, thereby exposing the employee to hearing loss.
