OSHA ensures access to records
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration requires employers to make available upon
request certain medical records and all exposure records of
employees who are exposed to toxic substances or hazardous
agents. The University will provide the first copy of these
records free to the employee or a representative to whom the
employee has given written authorization. The regulation
does not require that access be provided to records of
counseling, drug or alcohol abuse programs.
The employee or authorized representative
must submit the request with proof of identity such as a
driver's license or University ID. To ensure that proper
information is made available, the employee must provide his
or her social security number.
Medical record request forms may be
obtained from Occupational Medicine, at University Health
Services (258-5035). Exposure record request forms are
available from the Office of Occupational Health and Safety
(258-5294). Former employees must submit requests to the
Office of Human Resources, Clio Hall.
A copy of the regulation is available for
review upon request at McCosh Health Center or the Office of
Occupational Health and Safety.
