Abstract	Medical screening examination as part of a medical surveillance program is one of several tools that aims to protect workers who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances in the workplace. A medical surveillance program includes identifying workers who need examination, establishing exam content, performing occupational medical examinations, documenting results of examinations, informing the employee of the results of examination, following up abnormalities, counseling and education, and evaluation of grouped data for trends and subclinical effects of exposure. Selection of personnel for medical surveillance programs is based primarily on the results of the industrial hygiene survey and is exposure driven. This is known as 'hazard based'. In the absence of industrial hygiene data, medical personnel will make a decision on placement in medical surveillance programs based on knowledge of the workplace, job requirements and review of occupational history. Exam content is established in the Medical Matrix for performing hazard based medical examinations and certification examinations.
