[MCOH-EH] Record retention

[Dr Amber H Mitchell]

The Compliance Directive for the BPS outlines what is required from multi-employer scenarios like the one you describe: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=DIRECTIVES&p_id=2570

See Section XI.  I'd say to be safe as well - 30 years, as day to day supervision of those employees is the deciding qualifier.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Record retention

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).
