General Requirements

 

 

 

Medical surveillance must be provided at least annually and at the end of employment for all employees exposed to any particular hazardous substance at or above established exposure levels and/or those who wear approved respirators for 30 days or more on site. Such surveillance also will be conducted if a worker is exposed to unexpected or emergency releases.

Engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment, or a combination of these methods, must be implemented to reduce exposure below established exposure levels for the hazardous substance involved.

Air monitoring must be completed to identify and quantify hazardous substance levels with periodic monitoring to assure that proper protective equipment is being used.

Employers must have an informational program which includes the names of key personnel, their alternates responsible for site safety and health, and a listing of the relevant requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120.
