An exposure record is a document containing information on workplace environmental monitoring, biological monitoring (e.g., level of a chemical in blood), material safety data sheets (MSDS), chemical inventories, and any other record that identifies the type, as well as where and when a toxic substance or harmful physical agent was used. A medical record can be a medical and employment questionnaire; results of medical examinations; laboratory tests; written medical opinion, recommendation, diagnosis, or notes; first aid record; a description of treatment; and employee medical complaints.

Records are located and maintained in several college departments:  Health Center, Human Resources, & Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S), however, all written requests for records should be made to EH&S.  “Records Request Forms” are located in the Office of Human Resources located in the Peggy Ryan Williams Center or at EH&S. A printable “Records Request Form” or a copy of this notice can be downloaded from the EH&S website at https://www.ithaca.edu/sacl/safety/docs/ehsworkplace/recordsrequestform.pdf
