Abstract: 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.
