Publisher's Synopsis
OSHA 3162-12R, Screening and Surveillance: A Guide to OSHA Standards. The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires that employers comply with safety and health standards promulgated by OSHA or by a state with an OSHA-approved state plan. This guide is a quick reference to help you locate and implement the screening and surveillance requirements of the Federal OSHA standards published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR). This guide provides a general overview of OSHA requirements. It is not a standard or regulation, and it creates no new legal obligations. For full details of specific compliance requirements, please consult the appropriate OSHA standard in the CFR. You can access the medical surveillance provisions of the OSHA standards on the Internet at www.osha.gov.
