Periodic Medical Examinations - Frequency of Medical Examinations

The frequency and content of examinations will vary, since both are based on the specific work and the exposures of the site. As a general rule, there should be medical examinations yearly at a minimum. More frequent examinations may be necessary, depending on the following:

• The extent of potential or actual exposure
• The type of chemicals involved
• The duration of the work assignment
• The individual worker's profile
