​We all know the first line of defense is strict hygiene at work—changing clothes, showering before going home, leaving boots at the hangar, etc. But I am curious about the documentation side of things.

​If a worker knows they are working with, and have brought home confirmed, analyzed hazardous substances (heavy metals, epoxy, sealants), what do you usually advise regarding family documentation?

​Do you ever recommend that workers actively request to have these specific workplace substances logged directly into their spouse's and children's personal medical records (EHR/medical charts) as a precautionary measure?

​Or is there another standard method, registry, or best practice for logging potential secondary exposure for family members?
