Abstract: The standard requires employers to monitor employee exposure to Hexavalent Chromium, to provide medical surveillance, and to establish and maintain accurate records of employee exposure to Hexavalent Chromium and employee medical records. These records will be used by employers, employees, physicians and the Government to ensure that employees are not being harmed by exposure to Chromium. OSHA is proposing to remove the requirement that employers document employee’s social security number (SSN) in their exposure and medical records. Time to document SSN in records is negligible and therefore, the Agency is not requesting changes to the burden hour or cost estimates in this ICR.
