The HAZWOPER Physical Examination is required under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 for employees engaged in hazardous waste operations, emergency response to hazardous substance releases, and certain cleanup operations. This comprehensive medical surveillance exam ensures workers are medically capable of performing their duties while wearing personal protective equipment.

The examination evaluates cardiovascular fitness, respiratory function, and overall health to ensure workers can safely wear respirators and protective suits in hazardous environments. Annual monitoring tracks health changes that may be related to occupational exposures.
