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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.95(c)(1): The employer shall administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program, as described in paragraphs (c) through (o) of this section, whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (TWA) of 85 decibels measured on the A scale (slow response) or, equivalently, a dose of fifty percent. For purposes of the hearing conservation program, employee noise exposures shall be computed in accordance with appendix A and Table G-16a, and without regard to any attenuation provided by the use of personal protective equipment. a. The employer did not develop and implement a hearing conservation program for employees working in the grinding area. A Grinder Operator employee was exposed to continuous noise at 95.72% on April 10, 2024, which exceeded the action limit (AL) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 89.7 dBA during the 475-minute sampling period. Time weighted average includes a zero increment for the 5 minutes not sampled. b. The employer did not develop and implement a hearing conservation program for employees working in the grinding area. A Grinder Operator employee was exposed to continuous noise at 102.9% on April 10, 2024, which exceeded the action limit (AL) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85 dBA. The employee's 8-hour TWA sound level was approximately 90.2 dBA during the 466-minute sampling period. Time weighted average includes a zero increment for the 14 minutes not sampled.

The employer did not establish an audiometric testing program for employees working in the grinding area. A Grinder Operator employee was exposed to continuous noise at 95.72% on April 10, 2024, which exceeded the action limit (AL) of 50%, an 8-hour TWA (time weighted average) sound level of 85 dBA.
