Federal law grants employees the right to know about their exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace. The Access to Medical and Exposure Records for Managers (US) course explains how these rights apply, outlining employer responsibilities and procedures for granting access.

Managers will learn what constitutes a medical or exposure record, how these records must be maintained, and the proper steps for employee access. The course also clarifies which types of information are exempt from disclosure and how to handle situations when no formal records exist.

By the end of this training, learners will understand how to maintain compliance with OSHA’s access regulations while protecting sensitive medical information.
