HAR §12-55-11. Objections concerning a written access order

All employees, or their designated representatives, and an employer's written objections concerning access to records pursuant to a written access order shall be transmitted to the HIOSH medical records officer. Unless HIOSH decides otherwise, access to the records shall proceed without delay notwithstanding the lodging of an objection. The HIOSH medical records officer shall respond in writing to each employee's or their designated representative's written objection to HIOSH access. Where appropriate, the HIOSH medical records officer may revoke a written access order and direct that any medical information obtained by it be returned to the original recordholder or destroyed. The principal HIOSH investigator shall ensure that such instructions by the HIOSH medical records officer are promptly implemented.
