OSAP is not in a position to offer legal advice. Because recordkeeping logs can be a legal issue and play a role in risk management, you should also consult with the dental practice’s attorney and/or attorney knowledgeable in medical law. They can provide legal advice on maintaining such records, especially those concerning issues not covered under OSHA standards, other Federal regulations, or specific state laws. OSAP can provide you with the following general information: The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 does state the following: Medical Records: 1910.1030(h)(1)(iv): The employer shall maintain the records required by paragraph (h) for at least the duration of employment plus 30 years in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1020. (1) Training Records: 1910.1030(h)(2)(ii): Training records shall be maintained for 3 years from the date on which the training occurred. (1) OSAP is not currently aware of any federal requirements for maintaining laundry records/logs for gowns. OSH
