Is there any grace period on annual HAZWOPER physicals?  For example, if my last physical was on May 1st of last year, am I out of compliance as of May 2nd, or do I have (15 days, 30 days, etc) any leeway if my physical has to be pushed back?

Tiffany: Hi, John Brass!My name is Tiffany. Welcome to ComplyChat!How are you today? 
Tiffany: Are you asking about a physical as in a medical exam?
John Brass: I am well thank you, hope you are also.  We have sent many employees for your 40 hr class in NJ.  I need clarification on physicals.
John Brass: Not DOT or medical clearance, I am good on them.  Just a standard HAZWOPER physical.
Tiffany: We do not require you to bring a copy of your physical/medical records.  We want to ensure students and employers are aware anyone required to wear PPE gear for the job should be physically fit and maintain an annual physical up to date on file for their records.  Each participant is able to the dress-out exercises at their own discretion.  
Tiffany: HAZWOPER Refreshers and annual physicals should be done as close to the annual date sa possible and if you are not able to do that, you should keep documentation of the delay or lasp in time.  
John Brass: OK, I think we are on two different pages.  I am looking for regulations on physicals.  Thank you for your help.
Tiffany: I apologize for the miscommunication.  
Tiffany: I see you called into our office,.  Have all your questions been answered?
Tiffany: My name is Tiffany, and you can reach me via email at: CustomerService@csregs.com or by phone at tel:8007112706Have a great day!
