Keep employee exposure records.
IMPORTANT:
You do not need to keep employee exposure records for exposure to toxic substances when they are:
• Purchased as a consumer product; and
• Used in the same manner and frequency that a consumer would use them.
(1) You must keep employee exposure records for at least thirty years from the date the exposure record was made. These records include the following:
(a) The sampling results.
(b) The collection methodology (sampling plan).
(c) A description of the analytical and mathematical methods used.
(d) Background data to environmental monitoring or measuring, such as laboratory reports and work sheets.
Note: | You do not have to keep the actual background data for more than one year if you keep a summary of the data for thirty years. |
(2) You must keep a record, for at least thirty years, of the identity of any toxic substance used in your workplace. You must include:
(a) Where the substance was used.
(b) When the substance was used.
