An individual's exposure record regarding a wellness program must be:

• A. Kept confidential
• B. Updated annually
• C. Reported to all personnel each month
• D. Used to issue discipline

Answer: (A)

Exposure records in a wellness program contain sensitive health information, so they must be kept confidential to protect the employee’s privacy and comply with privacy laws and department policy. Limiting access to only those who need it for medical evaluation and program administration ensures the information isn’t exposed to the whole crew or used for disciplinary purposes. This confidentiality helps employees trust the program and participate honestly, which is essential for its effectiveness. Updating annually, sharing with everyone, or using the record for discipline would breach privacy and undermine the program, so confidentiality is the correct approach.
