The standard requires employers to
monitor worker exposure to cadmium, to provide medical surveillance
to workers, and to establish and maintain accurate worker and
exposure records. These records are used by employers, workers,
physicians, and the Government to ensure that workers are not being
harmed by exposure to Cadmium. 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.
