The standard requires employers to monitor employee exposure to cadmium, to provide medical surveillance to employees, to train employees about the hazards of cadmium in the workplace, and to establish and maintain accurate employee and exposure records. These records are used by employers, employees, physicians, and the Government to ensure that employees are not being harmed by exposure to Cadmium.
