The shop is 10,000<\/p>\n<p>square feet in area, with 12-foot high concrete block walls, and a flat metal roof. Inside the shop are two band saws, two<\/p>\n<p>metal lathes, three drill presses, one milling machine, and three abrasive grinders. The six employees work at benches<\/p>\n<p>located throughout the shop, using a variety of pneumatic-powered hand tools and non-powered tools. A recent noise<\/p>\n<p>survey found sound pressure levels exceeding 100dBA in some parts of the shop. All employees were monitored for noise<\/p>\n<p>exposure over an eight-hour workday, and the calculated TWA for noise for the employees ranged from 88dBA to 97dBA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Using the Risk Assessment Matrix in Table 11 on page 122 of the course textbook, conduct an initial hazard analysis and<\/p>\n<p>risk assessment based on the information in the scenario provided.
