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.
