Medical Records

Proper recordkeeping informs medical providers about each worker's previous and current exposures. This information is vital to ensuring that employees receive proper medical care.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has several regulations detailing the requirements for recordkeeping. 29 CFR Part 1910.20 states that the employer must do the following:

Maintain and preserve medical records on exposed workers for 30 years after they leave employment
Provide the results of medical testing, full medical records, and all available analyses to workers, their authorized representatives, and authorized OSHA representatives

Additionally, 29 CFR Part 1904 states that employers must maintain records of occupational injuries and illnesses and post a yearly summary report. (You learned about this in a previous unit.)
