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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

On or about June 3, 2022, operators working on a one-man dismantler pallet machine were exposed to high noise levels equivalent or exceeding the 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 85 dBA and the employer did not ensure a noise monitoring program was implemented onsite for the following:   a. On or about June 3, 2022,  a breakdown operator was exposed to noise at 154.2% of the permissible daily dose, or an average sound level of 93.5 dBA,  as measured over 456 minutes of sampling.  This does is equivalent to an 8 hour TWA exposure of 93.1 dBA accounting for the period of 24 minutes unmonitored.   b.  On or about June 3, 2022, a #1 bandsaw operator was exposed to noise at 425.5% of the permissible daily dose, or an average sound level of  of 100.4 dBA, as measured over 480 minutes of sampling.

This dose is equivalent to an 8 hour TWA exposure of 101.7 dBA accounting for the period of 0 minutes unmonitored.    d.  On or about June 3, 2022, a smartsaw operator was exposed to noise at 209.4% of the permissible daily dose, or an average sound level of 95.5 dBA, as measured over 471 minutes of sampling.  This does is equivalent to an 8 hour TWA exposure of 95.3 dBA accounting for the period of 9 minutes unmonitored.    There is no abatement certification or documentation required for this item.

29 CFR  1910.95(g)(6):"Annual audiogram." At least annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram, the employer shall obtain a new audiogram for each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels.   On or about June 3, 2022, a bandsaw operator working on a one man dismantler pallet machine was exposed to noise at 425.5% of the permissible daily dose, or an average sound level of of 100.4 dBA, as measured over 480 minutes of sampling. This dose is equivalent to an 8 hour TWA exposure of 100.4 accounting for the period of 0 minutes unmonitored and the employer did not ensure annual audiograms were established for employees who noise levels were equivalent or exceeded the 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 85 dBA .   Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
