Hello Curtis….I’m positively amazed that there are still companies after all these years who are unfamiliar with this particular standard as it is as old as OSHA itself. I’ve been providing annual reviews for what I’ve always titled as a training topic “Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records”. In addition to documentation for the annual review, I’ve attached an example template of the bulletin board posting that is “required” by my company to be posted on all field and office bulletin boards (primary) where employees receive official notifications. It’s always worked pretty well. I do work for a larger corporation, however, so establishment of an internal work process plus availability of internal resources doesn’t take away from the challenges of managing records for a large organization and assurance over time, but it is less challenging to implement this type of assurance in a larger company. I can see where it would be more of a challenge from both a cost perspective and records management perspective and particularly for those companies where turnover may be higher. All that said, it was definitely a good topic to get on everyone’s radar screen.

Curtis, I could not agree more with you on this. I also do numerous OSHA audits and find the same thing. I am glad to see that others find the same issue. Maybe now we all can inform our clients/employeers of this important rule.
