Lead Exposure
Reference: B-4
For a worker removed from exposure to lead due to a final medical determination, the worker must be returned
when a subsequent final medical determination results in a medical finding, determination, or opinion that the
worker no longer has a detected medical condition that places the worker at increased risk of lead exposure.
The Company shall remove any limitations placed on workers or end any special protective measures when a
subsequent final medical determination indicates they are no longer necessary. If the former position no longer
exists, the worker is returned consistent with whatever job assignment discretion The Company would have had
if no removal occurred.
Records for Medical Removal
In the case of medical removal, The Company’s records must include:
•
•
•
•
•
The worker’s name and social security number
The date of each occasion that the worker was removed from current exposure to lead
The date when the worker was returned to the former job status
A brief explanation of how each removal was or is being accomplished
A statement indicating whether the reason for the removal was an elevated blood lead level
MULTI CONTRACTOR SITES
If workers working immediately adjacent to a lead abatement activity are exposed to lead due to the inadequate
containment of such job, The Company shall either remove the workers from the area until the enclosure breach
is repaired or perform an initial exposure assessment.
RECORDKEEPING
The Company shall maintain any worker exposure and medical records to document ongoing worker exposure,
medical monitoring, and medical removal of workers. This data provides a baseline to evaluate the worker’s
health properly.
Workers or former workers, their designated representatives, and OSHA must have access to exposure and
medical records in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1020. Rules of agency practice and procedure governing OSHA
access to worker medical records are found in 29 CFR 1913.10.
The Company shall establish and maintain an accurate record of all monitoring and other data used to conduct
worker exposure assessments. The exposure assessment records must include:
•
•
The dates, number, duration, location, and results of each sample taken, including a description
of the sampling procedure used to determine representative worker exposure
A description of the sampling and analytical methods used and evidence of their accuracy
