Medical recordkeeping, covered by 29 CFR 1910.1020(h), requires employers to keep medical and training records for each employee. OSHA permits employers not to retain medical records of employees working for less than a year need if given to the employee upon termination of employment. Keep medical records confidential except for disclosures permitted by the standard or by other federal, state, or local laws. Make all medical records required by the standard available to OSHA. The compliance officer must protect the confidentiality of these records. If copied for the case file, follow the provisions of 29 CFR 1913.10.
