29 CFR 1910.95(d)(1): When information indicated that any employee's exposure equaled or exceed the 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels, the employer did not develop and implement a monitoring program:  a. Where employees were exposed to noise during press operation, 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) noise monitoring was not conducted to determine the need for a hearing conservation program (initial and annual hearing conservation training and hearing tests).  (Note: sound level meter measurements ranged from 89.5 to 97. 0 dBA on the day of inspection.  Abatement could be made by instituting a hearing conservation program without 8-hour TWA monitoring.)  Abatement documentation is required for this violation.
