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.

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).
