Safety & ComplianceQuestion 49 of 100
How often must an employer review and update the written Exposure Control Plan?
a.Only when a new employee is hired
b.At least annually, and whenever new tasks or procedures affect exposure
c.Every five years
d.Only after a documented exposure incident
Explanation
The Exposure Control Plan must be reviewed and updated at least annually and whenever new or modified tasks and procedures change occupational exposure, including when safer devices become available. A five-year cycle is far too long and hiring alone is not the trigger. Waiting for an exposure incident is reactive and does not satisfy the standard.
