We are converting our employee health records to an EMR from paper.

We are having discussions about what portion of our paper record must be retained because of OSHA.

Does anyone have guidance or a reference about what must be kept and what could be tossed?

We have a plan for inputting vaccination records etc and will be keeping records pertaining to OSHA record keeping

Some of the paper charts are enormous.

Thank you in advance.
