On , OSHA opened a referral health inspection of BROCK GRAIN SYSTEMS, A DIV. OF CTB, INC. in 7400 EAST 13TH STREET, KANSAS CITY, MO 64126 (NAICS 332311). OSHA activity number 339787673.
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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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(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: (a) At Brock Grain System: The employer failed to have an effective Hearing Conservation Program. (1) An employee working at the bliss line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 106% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 90.4 dBA. The sampling was performed for 501 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (2) An employee working at the bliss line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 87% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 89.0 dBA. The sampling was performed for 513 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (3) An employee working at the body line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 119% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 91.2 dBA. The sampling was performed for 501 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (4) An employee working at the farm A line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 75% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 87.9 dBA. The sampling was performed for 512 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (5) An employee working at the body line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 89% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 89.2 dBA. The sampling was performed for 520 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (6) An employee working at the body line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 120% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 91.3 dBA. The sampling was performed for 475 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (7) An employee working at the Farm A was exposed to continuous noise levels at 53% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 85.4 dBA. The sampling was performed for 468 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (8) An employee working at the Floor was exposed to continuous noise levels at 100% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 90.0 dBA. The sampling was performed for 486 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (9) An employee working at the bliss line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 77% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 88.1 dBA. The sampling was performed for 448 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014. (10) An employee working at the Floor line was exposed to continuous noise levels at 72.9% of the allowable 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of 85 dBA or an equivalent sound level of approximately 87.7 dBA. The sampling was performed for 480 minutes during one shift on June 5, 2014.
