The ACoP says, "In any case in which (a) it is requisite for ensuring the maintenance of adequate control of the exposure of employees to substances hazardous to health or (b) it is otherwise requisite for protecting the health of employees, the employer shall ensure that the exposure of employees to substances hazardous to health is monitored in accordance with a suitable procedure."

Records must be kept for 40 years in the case of personal exposures of identifiable employees, and at least five years in other cases. Monitoring should be at least once a year (except for vinyl chloride monomer, where monitoring must be continuous, and in chromium plating where monitoring must be every 14 days).
