How do we handle employee right-to-know requests?hazard-communication

29 CFR 1910.1020 lets employees or their reps review exposure and medical records within 15 working days. Build a simple intake form, track the request in your recordkeeping system, and provide PDFs of sampling results, SDS, or physician opinions. Note whether the employee wants the records digitally or onsite, and document any redactions approved by counsel. Remember most exposure records must be retained for 30 years. Keep a log showing when you responded and what documents were shared; OSHA frequently asks for this proof after a complaint.
