    §  4803.  Records  and  reports.  1. Upon request by the commissioner,
  employers shall provide to the commissioner copies  of  employee  health
  and  exposure  records maintained and supplied to the federal government
  by employers as  mandated  under  the  following  federal  statutes  and
  regulations except as access by third parties may be limited therein:
    (a) Toxic Substances Control Act;
    (b) Occupational Safety and Health Act;
    (c) Environmental Pesticide Control Act; and
    (d) Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 10CFR section 20.102-20.409.
    2.  Upon request by the commissioner employers shall provide the names
  and addresses of present and former employees whenever the  commissioner
  determines  that  there  is  a  health  risk  or disease relating to the
  exposure of employees to a toxic substance or toxic substances.
    3. The commissioner shall not release any information with identifying
  names.  The commissioner may, however, publish analyses of such  reports
  and  information  from  time  to  time  for scientific and public health
  purposes, in such a manner as to  assure  that  the  identities  of  the
  individuals   concerned  cannot  be  ascertained  and  that  information
  protected by applicable trade secret law is not divulged.
    4. The commissioner may require an employer to  keep  records  of  his
  employees'  use  of  specific  toxic substances when there is scientific
  evidence to question the efficacy of the current threshold limit  values
  for  those substances. Such records shall be held solely for the purpose
  of conducting epidemiologic research on occupational health.
