The Standard requires employers to
train employees about the hazards of asbestos, to monitor employee
exposure, to provide medical surveillance, and maintain accurate
records of employee exposure to asbestos. These records will be
used by employers, employees, and the Government to ensure that
employees are not harmed by exposure to asbestos in the
workplace.
