not only the identification of conditions at the work site, but appropriate medical
evaluations of the employee’s physical condition. The OSHA standard requires that appropriate surveillance of work area conditions and degree of employee exposure or stress be maintained (1910.134 (d)(1)(iii)). This includes identification of the contaminant, nature of the hazard, and concentration at the breathing zone. Persons should not be assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators unless they are physically able to perform the work and use the equipment (1910.134 (e)(1)).
