OSHA noise dosimetry conducted on two staffing agency employees found the TWA noise levels to be 87.3 dBA for 426 minutes and 87.8 dBA for 410 minutes. Staffing agency employees were not included in a hearing conservation program (HCP) while regular employees working in the same area were on the HCP. |
