IMPORTANT:

You do not need to keep employee exposure records for exposure to toxic substances when they are:

• Purchased as a consumer product; and

• Used in the same manner and frequency that a consumer would use them.

(1) You must keep employee exposure records for at least thirty years from the date the exposure record was made. These records include the following:

(a) The sampling results.

(b) The collection methodology (sampling plan).

(d) Background data to environmental monitoring or measuring, such as laboratory reports and work sheets.

Note:

You do not have to keep the actual background data for more than one year if you keep a summary of the data for thirty years.

(2) You must keep a record, for at least thirty years, of the identity of any toxic substance used in your workplace. You must include:

(a) Where the substance was used.

(b) When the substance was used.

Note:

The identity may be retained either as part of the exposure record or as a separate record.
