In compliance with Iowa law, which incorporates by reference the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 29 CFR 1910.1020, The University of Iowa is required to provide employees access to their workplace exposure and medical records maintained by the University. Exposure monitoring records are kept primarily by the University Environmental Health & Safety Office and by Safety and Security at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC). Examples of exposure records include radiation monitoring data for those who work with radioactive materials, noise, or toxic air contaminants. Employee medical records, i.e., those for treatment of workplace injuries or illnesses, are kept at UIHC's Health Information Management Office and Workers Health Clinic and at the University's Employee Health Clinic. Hospital Epidemiology maintains records of exposure to communicable diseases. To access any of the above-mentioned records, University employees may contact Employee and Labor Relations in University Human Resources, 121-20 University Services Building, with the exception of UIHC employees, who may contact Hospital Human Resources, E139 General Hospital.
