Test Yourself: Are these employee medical or exposure records under 1910.1020?

Do you know which records must be retained, and for how long? Click below to see answers.

  1. An employee who will use a respirator completes the medical questionnaire from 1910.134 Appendix C, which is then sent to a physician for review. Is that an employee medical record under 1910.1020?
    1. Yes
    2. No
  2. If an employee goes to a hospital for a work-related injury but is given only first aid treatment, does OSHA consider that an employee medical record?
    1. Yes, the record was made by a physician or health care professional.
    2. No, first aid records are not counted as employee medical records.
  3. An employer conducts air sampling for a substance listed in Subpart Z, but the results are well below the listed action level so no further sampling is required. Do those results count as an employee exposure record?
    1. Yes, it doesn’t matter if the results were below acceptable levels.
    2. No, because the levels identified are not hazardous to employees.
  4. An employer asks employees to complete a questionnaire on environmental conditions in the workplace, such as how they feel about the temperature and humidity. Are those questionnaires considered employee exposure records?
    1. Yes, evaluating temperature and humidity creates an exposure record.
    2. No, because there were no actual measurements of conditions.
