Employers must monitor exposure to lead, provide medical surveillance, train employees about the hazards of lead, and establish and maintain accurate records of worker exposure to lead.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency is requesting a burden hour adjustment increase of 116,099 hours (from 1,134,438 hours to 1,250,537 hours). The adjustment increase is due to an overall increase in the number of employers (56,906 to 60,569 employers) and an increase in the number of exposed workers (346,894 to 366,629 exposed workers), based on updated data. Also, the agency is requesting an adjustment cost increase of $65,152,826 (from $145,080,120 to $210,232,946). The increase is mainly due to two factors: first, an increase in the number of employees receiving exposure monitoring, biological monitoring, and medical examinations; and second, an increase in costs to perform these exposure, biological, monitoring’s and medical examinations as required by the standard.
