[MCOH-EH] Record retention

[Cassano Victoria]

I would recommend for your own protection that you keep them the 30 years. You did the exam. The employer shouldn't even have a copy of the exam.

Back to basics… How long do healthcare providers (occupational medicine) have to keep health records performed for contracted employers/employees?  Can someone point me to the appropriate reference citation?
I’ve heard an opinion that since we’re not the employer we don’t have to keep them the OSHA 30 year requisite cited in 1910.1020 (d) (1) (i).
