e) a medical history and physical examination emphasizing the respiratory system.
(6) A periodic health assessment shall comply with the follow- ing requirements: (
a) the frequency of chest x-rays shall be in accordance with the silica health surveillance document; (
b) the medical examination empha sizing the respiratory system shall be repeated annually unless prescribed otherwise by the physician; and (
c) the pulmonary /lung functions tests including FEV1, FVC, and DLCO standardized for alveolar volume shall be re- peated annually unless prescr ibed otherwise by the physi- cian.
(7) Where an employee is undergoing health surveillance for silica, the physician shall ensure, as soon as practicable, that (
a) the employee is notified of the results, together with a neces- sary explanation of these results; (
b) the employer is notified of the general outcome of a worker’s health surveillance and is advised on the need for remedial actions; and (
c) the minister is notified of a prescribed adverse health effect that had been detected which is consistent with exposure to silica.
(8) Where an employer has been advised by the physician on the need for remedial action, the employer shall, as soon as practicable, re- evaluate the assessment of the empl oyee’s exposure to silica and im- plement the control measures required.
(9) An employer shall ensure employees are informed of the purpose and procedures for health surveillance and make arrangements for employees to participate in the health surveillance program. 48.
(1) When work or manufacturi ng processes cause or are likely to cause workers to be exposed to asbestos, or dusts containing asbes- Asbestos
Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2009 70/09 The Newfoundland and Labrador Gazette August 14, 2009 427 tos, means shall be provided to co ntrol asbestos dust from exceeding the threshold limit value established by the ACGIH or lower where practically attainable.
(2) Dust arising from the cutting and shaping of block and pipe insulation materials, whether by power saws or hand saws, shall be controlled by adequate local exhaust ventilation with the discharged air passed through an effective filter.
(3) Where mortar containing asbestos is mixed, dust concentra- tions shall be controlled by adequate local exhaust ventilation with dis- charged air passed through an effective filter or other effective means.
(4) Where work is being done with asbestos containing materi- als, dust concentrations shall be controlled through adequate local ex- haust ventilation with discharged air passed through an effective filter or other effective means. 49.
(1) An employer shall develop an exposure control plan for lead where (
a) a worker at a work site may be exposed to airborne lead in excess of its occupational exposure limit for more than 30 days in a year; or (
b) a worker’s exposure to lead at a work site could result in an elevated body burden of lead through a route of entry.
(2) The exposure control plan shall include (
a) a statement of purpose and the responsibilities of individu- als; (
b) methods of hazard identification, assessment and control; (
c) worker education and training; (
d) safe work practices as required; (
e) descriptions of personal and work site hygiene practices and decontamination practices; (
f) processes of health monitoring, including biological testing; Lead exposure control plan
Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2009 70/09 The Newfoundland and Labrador Gazette August 14, 2009 428 (
g) methods of documentation and record keeping; and (
h) procedures for maintenance of the plan, including annual reviews and updating.
(3) A worker shall follow the expo sure control plan and practice the personal and work site hygiene practice established by the employer to minimize lead exposure at the work site.
(4) Where there is potential for a worker to be exposed to lead in harmful amounts at a work site, an employer shall ensure that air monitoring and surface te sting for lead is regu larly conducted to con- firm that the controls in place are effective.
(5) Where a worker at a work site could reasonably be expected to have an elevated body burden of lead, an employer shall establish a system for the surveillance of the health of their employees arising from lead exposure in accordance with the lead h ealth surveillance guidance document as prescribed by the minister.
(6) An employer shall ensure th at a worker who has been ex- posed to lead is informed of the health surveillance requirements. 50.
(1) For the purpose of this
section and sections 51 to 54, "mus- culoskeletal injury (MSI)" means an injury or disorder of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, blood vessels or related soft tissue, including a sprain, strain and inflammation, that may be caused or ag- gravated by work.
(2) An employer shall (
a) recognize factors in the wo rkplace that may expose workers to a risk of musculoskeletal injury; and (
b) evaluate the risk to worker s presented by the factors that have been recognized under paragraph (a). 51.
