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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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(g)(5)(i): Within 6 months of an employee's first exposure at or above the action level, the employer shall establish a valid baseline audiogram against which subsequent audiograms can be compared. On or about August 6, 2024, at the establishment located at 111 North Douglas Street, Hortonville, Wisconsin; the employer did not ensure that a baseline audiogram was obtained for each employee with noise exposure that exceeded 82.1 decibels measured on an A-weighted scale (dBA) in the following instances: a) On or about August 6, 2024, an Assistant Operator employee was exposed to a 12-hour time-weighted average (TWA) sound level of 92.3 dBA, or equivalently, a noise dose of 137.9%. This exceeds a 12-hour TWA action level (AL) of 82.1 dBA, or equivalently, a noise dose of 50%. The sampling was performed for 667 minutes. b) On or about August 6, 2024, an Operator employee operating was exposed to a 12-hour TWA sound level of 91.3 dBA, or equivalently, a noise dose of 121.2%. This exceeds a 12-hour TWA AL of 82.1 dBA, or equivalently, a noise dose of 50%. The sampling was performed for 667 minutes.
