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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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(d)(1): When information indicates that any employee's exposure may equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels, the employer shall develop and implement a monitoring program.  a) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for the Shear Operator. The operator was exposed to continuous noise at 221% which exceeded the PEL (permissible exposure limit ) of 100%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 90 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 95.7 dBA during the 480 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018.  b) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for the Repair Line worker. The worker was exposed to continuous noise at 168% which exceeded the PEL (permissible exposure limit ) of 100%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 90 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 93.8 dBA during the 480 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018.  c) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for a building area worker. The worker  was exposed to continuous noise at 156.2% which exceeded the PEL (permissible exposure limit ) of 100%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 90 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 93.2 dBA during the 467 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 13 minutes not sampled.   d) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for a building area worker. The worker was exposed to continuous noise at 144.6% which exceeded the PEL (permissible exposure limit ) of 100%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 90 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 92.6 dBA during the 473 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 7 minutes not sampled.   e) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for an employee working on the Repair Line. The Repair Line employee was exposed to continuous noise at 118.5% which exceeded the AL (action level) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 91.2 dBA during the 476 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 4 minutes not sampled.   f) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for the band saw operator. The operator was exposed to continuous noise at 104.6% which exceeded the AL (action level) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 90.3 dBA during the 475 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018. Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 5 minutes not sampled.   g) The employer had not developed and implemented a noise monitoring program for a shear operator. The operator was exposed to continuous noise at 92.6% which exceeded the AL (action level ) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85.0 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 89.5 dBA during the 472 minute sampling period on May 3, 2018.  Exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 8 minutes not sampled.
