At present, employees are carrying food and drink from the cafeteria for consumption at their work stations. This practice increases the potential for lead ingestion. 75-26 Provide ear plugs or other approved hearing protective devices for employees working in areas where permissible durations of exposure are exceeded. Refer to the attached Analyses of Noise Exposures and previous survey reports of 1973 and 1974 for specific locations. Personal hear* Ing protectors should be considered interim protection until engineering and/or administrative controls can be implemented. 75-27 Medical surveillance in the fora of an approved audiometric testing program should be provided for all new employees and annually for all employees whose occupational noise exposures exceed pertaissible limits. 75-23 Gardner-Beloit O.D, grinder No. L-23 should be enclosed with noise absorbing materials. Sven partial shielding would aid in reducing background levels at adjacent work stations. 75-29 Noise control engineering should be considered for abrasive grinder No. L-26, abrasive grinder No. 1,-27, the paint spray booth, the Shepard-Thompson grinder, and tbs Are King grinder, with selective booth enclosure which incorporates absorption and shielding into the ooostrnotion, background levels can be significantly reduced, especially in the Finish Department. jagCffiSCtt Airborne asbestos levels were generally higher than those en countered during our previous survey of January 7-11, 1774.
