HAZWOPER requires employers to have a medical surveillance program to monitor and assess the health of their employees. Medical surveillance consists of regular medical examinations to ensure workers are “fit for duty” and aren’t experiencing adverse health effects from occupational exposures. Programs should be site-specific and based on potential exposures at a given site. This module will discuss the requirements of a medical surveillance program and describe the different types of medical examinations that must be performed.
• Describe the purpose of a medical surveillance program and list program requirements
• List the employees covered by a medical surveillance program
• Describe when medical examinations are required
• Describe the purpose of pre-entry and exit examinations for emergency responders and list the conditions that are monitored
• List symptoms of exposure to hazardous chemicals
