Determine who you will survey

CTR affected work sites have only two choices of whom they survey:
  1. the entire worksite population
    OR
  2. the CTR affected employees only

Surveying other variations of the worksite population is not an option.

Who are my CTR-affected employees?

CTR-affected employees meet these criteria: They·
  • Work 35 or more hours in a week (Monday through Sunday). ·
  • Are scheduled to report to a single worksite between 6 and 9 a.m. ·
  • Work on two or more weekdays (Monday through Friday) each week. ·
  • Their position is intended to last for at least 12 continuous months.

    All employees who meet, or may meet, the definition of "affected employee" should be surveyed. If employers can definitely exclude some of their employees from the affected group, but are unsure about others, they should exclude those they can and survey the others. Affected employees that have been exempted from a worksite's CTR program by the local government should not be surveyed. Exemptions must be approved prior to each survey process. If you need to request an exemption, contact your ETR.
