R 325.51993 Return of employee to former job status.

Rule 93. (1) This rule replaces OSHA 1926.62(k)(1)(iii). (2) An employer shall return an employee to his or her former job status under either of the following circumstances: (a) For an employee removed due to a blood lead level at or above 30 µg/dL when 2 consecutive blood sampling tests indicate that the employee's blood lead level is below 15 µg/dL. (b) For an employee removed due to a final medical determination, when a subsequent final medical determination results in a medical finding, determination, or opinion that the employee no longer has a detected medical condition which places the employee at increased risk of material impairment to health from exposure to lead. (3) For the purposes of this rule, the requirement that an employer return an employee to his or her former job status is not intended to expand upon or restrict any rights an employee has or would have had, absent temporary medical removal, to a specific job classification or position under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
