The purpose of this standard and its
information collection requirements are to provide protection for
workers from the adverse effects associated with occupational
exposure to the carcinogen, lead. Employers must monitor exposure
to lead, provide medical surveillance, train employers about the
hazards of lead, and establish and maintain accurate records of
worker exposure to lead. These records are used by employers,
workers, physicians, and the Government to ensure that workers are
not being harmed by exposure to lead. OSHA is proposing to remove
the requirements for employers to collect and record an employee’s
social security number (SSN) on exposure monitoring and medical
surveillance 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.
