(iv) Name, workplace address, work shift, job classification, work area, and type of respiratory protection (if any) by each monitored person;
(v) Identification of all potentially exposed persons that a monitored person is intended to represent if using a representative sample, consistent with § 751.607(b)(3)(i)(A) and (B);
(vi) Sampling and analytical methods used as described in § 751.607(b)(3)(i)(D);
(vii) Compliance with the GLP Standards in 40 CFR part 792, or use of a laboratory accredited by the AIHA or another industry-recognized program, as required by § 751.607(b)(3)(i)(C); and
(viii) Information regarding air monitoring equipment, including: Type, maintenance, calibrations, performance tests, limits of detection, and any malfunctions;
(ix) Re-monitoring determinations conducted by an Environmental Professional as defined at 40 CFR 312.10 or a Certified Industrial Hygienist, if results indicated non-detect; and
(x) Notification of exposure monitoring results in accordance with § 751.607(b)(3)(v).
(2) ECEL compliance. Owners or operators subject to the ECEL described in § 751.607(b) must retain records of:
(i) Exposure control plan as described in § 751.607(d)(2);
(ii) Implementation of the exposure control plan as described in § 751.607(d)(2), including:
(A) Any regular inspections, evaluations, and updating of the exposure controls to maintain effectiveness;
(B) Confirmation that all persons are implementing the exposure controls; and
(C) Each occurrence and duration of any start-up, shutdown, or malfunction of the facility that causes an exceedance of the ECEL and any subsequent corrective actions taken by the owner or operator during the start-up, shutdown, or malfunctions to mitigate exposures to PCE.
(iii) Respiratory protection used by each potentially exposed person and PPE program implementation as described in § 751.607(f)(2) including:
(A) The name, workplace address, work shift, job classification, work area of each potentially exposed person, and the type of respiratory protection provided to each potentially exposed person;
(B) The basis for the specific respiratory protection selection in accordance with § 751.607(f)(2); and
(C) Fit testing and training in accordance with § 751.607(f)(2).
(iv) Information and training provided as required in § 751.607(e).
(3) DDCC compliance. Owners or operators subject to DDCC requirements described in § 751.607(c) must retain records of:
(i) Exposure control plan as described in § 751.607(d)(2);
(ii) Dermal protection used by each potentially exposed person and PPE program implementation as described in § 751.607(f)(3), including:
(A) The name, workplace address, work shift, job classification, and work area of each person reasonably likely to directly handle PCE or handle equipment or materials on which PCE may be present and the type of PPE selected to be worn by each of these persons;
(B) The basis for specific PPE selection (e.g., demonstration based on permeation testing or manufacturer specifications that each item of PPE selected provides an impervious barrier to prevent exposure during expected duration and conditions of exposure, including the likely combinations of chemical substances to which the PPE may be exposed in the work area);
(C) Appropriately sized PPE and training on proper application, wear, and removal of PPE, and proper care/disposal of PPE;
(D) Occurrence and duration of any direct dermal contact with PCE that occurs during any activity or malfunction at the workplace that causes direct dermal exposures to occur and/or glove breakthrough, and corrective actions to be taken during and immediately following that activity or malfunction to prevent direct dermal contact to PCE; and
(E) Training in accordance with § 751.607(f)(3).
(iii) Information and training provided as required in § 751.607(e).
(4) Workplace participation. Owners or operators must document the notice to and ability of any potentially exposed person that may reasonably be affected by PCE inhalation exposure or direct dermal contact and their designated representatives to readily access the exposure control plans, facility exposure monitoring records, PPE program implementation records, or any other information relevant to PCE exposure in the workplace.
(c) Workplace requirements for laboratory use compliance. Owners and operators subject to the laboratory chemical requirements described in § 751.609 must retain records of:
(1) Dermal protection used by each potentially exposed person and PPE program implementation, as described in § 751.615(b)(3)(ii);
(2) Documentation identifying: Criteria that the owner or operator will use to determine and implement control measures to reduce potentially exposed persons' exposure to PCE including laboratory ventilation devices;
(3) Documentation identifying: Implementation of properly functioning laboratory ventilation devices using manufacturer's instructions for installation, use, and maintenance of the devices including inspections, tests, development of maintenance procedures, the establishment of criteria for acceptable test results, and documentation of test and inspection results; and
(d) Workplace requirements for energized electrical cleaner. (1) Owners and operators subject to the energized electrical cleaner requirements described in § 751.611 must retain records of:
