Article 11
List of exposed workers 1. Employers shall keep a list of workers exposed to group 3 and/or group 4 biological agents, indicating the type of work done and, whenever possible, the biological agent to which they have been exposed, as well as records of exposures, accidents and incidents, as appropriate. 2. The list referred to in paragraph 1 shall be kept for at least 10 years following the end of exposure, in accordance with national laws and/or practice. In the case of those exposures which may result in infections: (a) with biological agents known to be capable of establishing persistent or latent infections; (b) that, in the light of present knowledge, are undiagnosable until illness develops many years later; (c) that have particularly long incubation periods before illness develops; (d) that result in illnesses which recrudesce at times over a long period despite treatment, or (e) that may have serious long-term sequelae, the list shall be kept for an appropriately longer time up to 40 years following the last known exposure. 3. The doctor referred to in Article 14 and/or the competent authority for health and safety at work, and any other person responsible for health and safety at work, shall have access to the list referred to in paragraph 1.
