| Summary: Medical surveillance is the process of evaluating the health of employees as it relates to their potential occupational exposures to hazardous agents. EH&S determines which job classifications require medical surveillance. Inclusion in the medical surveillance program is based on industrial hygiene/safety surveys in which exposures to various stressors were evaluated.
Cal/OSHA standards trigger medical surveillance procedures if an employee is exposed to a certain action level for a specific frequency of time. Laboratory-scale operations conducted in research labs at Stanford rarely trigger medical surveillance. |
