General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1926.52(d)(1): In all cases where the sound levels exceeded the values shown in Table D-2 of 29 CFR 1926.52, a continuing, effective hearing conservation program was not administered to address annual audiometric testing, noise exposure assessment, and required training: The employer is failing to protect employees from hazardous sound levels. On and about 09/13/2016 employees working at the Third Street Bridge Viaduct project in St. Louis, Missouri performed concrete chipping activities. (a) An employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 438.3 % of the allowable 8-hour time weighted sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 438.3 % is approximately 100.7 dBA. Sampling was performed for 407 minutes during one shift. This condition exposed the employee to occupationally related noise-induced hearing loss. (b) An employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 410.8 % of the allowable 8-hour time weighted sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 410.8 % is approximately 100.2 dBA. Sampling was performed for 369 minutes during one shift. This condition exposed the employee to occupationally related noise-induced hearing loss. (c) One employee was exposed to continuous noise levels at 356.4 % of the allowable 8-hour time weighted sound level (90 dBA). The equivalent dBA level of 356.4 % is approximately 99.1 dBA. Sampling was performed for 407 minutes during one shift. This condition exposed the employee to occupationally related noise-induced hearing loss.

29 CFR 1926.55(b): Feasible administrative or engineering controls were not implemented to reduce employee exposure(s) to respirable Silica (Quartz): The employer is failing to reduce employee exposure to respirable crystalline Silica (Quartz) where feasible administrative or engineering controls are not implemented to reduce employee exposure(s). On or about 09/13/2016 an employee who performed concrete chipping activities with chipping hammers at the Third Street Bridge Viaduct project in St. Louis, Missouri and who was equipped with full face respirator was exposed to a time weighted average (TWA) of 27.00 mppcf. The permissible exposure limit (PEL) for Crystalline Silica in this case, is 21.27 mppcf. The severity of the exposure was calculated to be 1.26. This condition exposed the employee to respiratory hazards.
