General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1910.95(g)(8)(ii)(B): Unless a physician determines that the standard threshold shift is not work-related or aggravated by occupational noise exposure, the employer did not ensure, when a standard threshold shift occurs, that for employees already using hearing protectors, employees be refitted and retrained in the use of hearing protectors and provided with hearing protectors offering greater attenuation if necessary:  At a facility located at 127 Claxton Ave, Carthage, MO: Employees were exposed to occupational noise hazards. This was demonstrated when a comparison of the annual and baseline audiograms indicated standard threshold shifts had occurred for employees at the facility and the employer failed to refit, nor provide hearing protectors which offer greater attenuation for identified employees.
