For how long should worker radon exposure logs be maintained?

Worker radon exposure logs should be maintained for a duration of six years to ensure that there is adequate documentation of workers' exposure to radon levels. This time frame is established to comply with regulatory requirements and to support health monitoring and safety practices in the workplace.

Maintaining records for this duration helps organizations track exposure trends and ensure adherence to safety standards that aim to protect workers from the risks associated with prolonged radon exposure. These records may also be crucial for any future health evaluations or legal considerations related to occupational safety.

The six-year period is aligned with guidelines from occupational health and safety regulations that consider both the potential latency of radon-related health effects and the need for comprehensive record-keeping for effective risk management.
