Petrochemical & refiningA missed interval is an audit finding
Exposure-driven medical surveillance where the hard part is not the exam — it is running the schedule so nobody comes due without anyone noticing.
The standards this work falls under
These are the federal standards that most commonly drive exam requirements for this sector. Your own exposure assessment and client contracts decide which apply to a given classification.
| Program | Standard | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Benzene | 29 CFR 1910.1028 | At assignment, then periodically per the standard |
| Respirable crystalline silica | 29 CFR 1910.1053 | Initial, then at the interval the standard sets |
| Lead | 29 CFR 1910.1025 | Driven by blood lead levels |
| Asbestos | 29 CFR 1910.1001 | Initial, then annually while exposed |
| Respiratory protection | 29 CFR 1910.134 | Clearance before first use; fit test annually |
| Hearing conservation | 29 CFR 1910.95 | Baseline at entry, then annually |
| Hazardous waste operations | 29 CFR 1910.120 | Baseline, annually while assigned, and at termination |
Surveillance built off your exposure assessment
We do not guess at which programs apply. Send the exposure assessment and the affected classifications, and the protocol comes back matched to them.
On lab work: MedCare is a specimen collection site for Quest Diagnostics and Abbott Toxicology. Specimens are collected here or at your site and processed through their national networks. If you already hold a Quest or Abbott account, results can be routed to it — give us the account number when the protocol is set up.
The schedule is the deliverable
Any clinic can run an exam. What keeps you out of trouble is knowing who is due, when, under which standard, and having the file to show it happened.
- Intervals tracked and recalls scheduled off your roster
- Consistent file format across every employee
- Written reports for the surveillance file after each exam
- On-site collection during turnarounds
- Bilingual questionnaires and instructions
- Consolidated employer invoicing
Send the exposure assessment
We will map it to the standards that apply, tell you the intervals, and quote the protocol per employee.
