What does R1960 require?

Every employer, including government and non-profit undertakings, establishes occupational health services under the Rule, with employer, workers and representatives cooperating in their implementation. The workplace keeps at least the minimum medicines, medical supplies, equipment and facilities of Table 47 (or comparable items prescribed by the occupational health physician) in the treatment room or clinic, replaced immediately after use. Emergency medical and dental services scale with headcount and hazard classification under Rule 1963.02: in hazardous workplaces a full-time first aider from 1 to 50 workers, a part-time nurse at least four hours a day six days a week plus a first aider and an emergency treatment room from 51 to 99, and physicians, dentists, nurses and clinics in the numbers set for larger establishments, with the corresponding scale for non-hazardous workplaces. Health personnel meet the training and qualification requirements of Rule 1964. The employer establishes the health services, adopts and implements a comprehensive health programme, contracts hospitals or dental clinics where none is available on site, keeps a health record of programmes and activities and files the annual medical report on the prescribed form with the Regional Labor Office and the Bureau by the last day of March; the occupational health physician's duties are listed in Rule 1965.02 and the programme objectives in Rule 1966. All workers undergo physical examination before first employment, periodically as the risks require, on transfer or separation and when injured or ill, complete and free of charge with X-ray or laboratory tests where the work requires, with results recorded legibly and kept strictly confidential.
