The respiratory protection standard requires an employer to retain and make available records of medical evaluations (including medical determinations and the questionnaires) in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1020. "Medical records" must be maintained for the duration of employment plus 30 years. "Exposure records" must be maintained for 30 years. All information from the questionnaire and/or the medical exam is confidential, and arrangements must be made by the employer to ensure it is kept confidential. Usually, the employer will have the records maintained by the PLHCP.
