Abstract
Central Supply Company was interested in having a noise survey completed at two locations, a concrete batch plant and a block manufacturing plant. Noise levels were measured to evaluate the current hearing conservation program and to determine potential overexposure, compliance, and appropriateness of protection. Employee dosimetry results showed that sound levels at the concrete batch plant were not high enough to require employee enrollment in a hearing conservation program. At the block manufacturing plant, employee dosimetry results showed there was a need for a hearing conservation program, including a need for hearing protection to be worn at all times during production.
