How should vaccination or medical surveillance records be handled under Class 314?

• A. Maintained confidentially by the employer
• B. Publicly accessible
• C. Shared with all employees
• D. Kept in a personal file of the employee's choosing

Answer: (A)

Vaccination or medical surveillance records are confidential medical information. The employer acts as the custodian and must keep these records secure and accessible only to the employee or to authorized health or safety personnel who need them to protect the employee’s health or to meet regulatory requirements. They are not publicly accessible, nor routinely shared with all staff, and they should not be kept in a personal file chosen by the employee. Keeping them confidential protects privacy and prevents misuse, while still allowing appropriate access for medical decisions and compliance.
