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

As part of the SIP-IV
rulemaking, OSHA removed the requirement that employers document
employees’ social security numbers (SSN) in their exposure and
medical records. Time to document SSN in records is negligible and,
therefore the Agency is not requesting any changes to the burden
hour or cost estimates as a result. (See Table 1) The Agency is
requesting a decrease of 14 hours in burden hours, from 1,243,686
to 1,243,672 and decrease of 178 in the responses from 8,284,730 to
8,284,552. This requested decrease in burden hours and responses in
the inventory is the result of an error in the recording of the
total burden hours in the previous ICR for this standard.
