Under OSHA Standard 1910.1020, you have the right to examine and copy exposure and medical records, including workplace monitoring or measurements of toxic substances.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if you request it in writing
• D. Only for managers' records

Answer: (A)

Under OSHA 1910.1020, workers have the right to access their own exposure and medical records, and to copies of those records. This includes records from workplace monitoring or measurements of toxic substances. The right also extends to designated representatives who can act on the employee’s behalf. The request for access does not have to be in writing, and employers must provide access in a timely, practical manner. This ensures you can review how you’ve been exposed and what any medical findings show, and it supports you in protecting your health and verifying the accuracy of monitoring data.
