What must a company do for employees who have been exposed to hazardous materials and have worked less than one year?

The correct response indicates that the company must record but not necessarily maintain records for employees who have been exposed to hazardous materials and have worked for less than one year. This aligns with established Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations regarding recordkeeping.

For employees exposed to hazardous substances, the law requires employers to keep certain records to document exposure levels and health effects. However, for short-term employees—those working in the company for less than one year—the requirement is typically to record that exposure occurred, without needing to keep detailed, permanent records. This distinction recognizes the transient nature of these employees' positions while still providing a level of accountability for workplace safety.

In contrast, maintaining permanent records would imply that the company has a long-term obligation to keep extensive documentation, which is not mandated for employees with such a brief tenure. Notification to OSHA or provision of medical examinations, while important in their own rights under various circumstances, are not obligations specifically triggered by the short duration of employment with respect to recording hazardous material exposure.
