A note about lead exposure: All workers exposed to lead must be medically monitored, per OSHA law. This means they must have blood drawn on a regular basis to test for lead content in their blood. The OHCC’s medical staff is available to go on site and draw blood and then send it to a laboratory for analysis. Writing each worker a letter giving his/her lead level with an interpretation of the results is also included. OHCC is also available for follow-up care, if necessary. Some of the groups we have medically monitored for lead include: Painters Iron Workers Laborers Our Industrial Hygienist is also available to work with contracts, employers, and workers to develop good engineering controls including use of personal protective equipment, proper hygiene and other methods to reduce exposure to lead.
