Recordkeeping

Employers should keep a record of the examination, including the employee's name and the physician's written opinion regarding the employee's medical fitness to do work or to wear a respirator.

Employers should also be aware that there are medical surveillance requirements in other OSHA substance-specific standards that may be applicable for individual sites where these hazardous substances are present (e.g., lead, asbestos, and benzene). These substance-specific standards are included under OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 Subpart Z - Toxic and Hazardous Substances.
