‘2. An assessment of each worker’s state of health must be available prior to the beginning of exposure to dust arising from asbestos or materials containing asbestos at the place of work. That assessment shall include a specific examination of the chest. Annex I gives practical recommendations to which the Member States may refer for the clinical surveillance of workers. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 18a amending Annex I, to adapt it to technical progress. Where, in duly justified and exceptional cases involving imminent, direct and serious risks to workers’ and other persons’ physical health and safety, imperative grounds of urgency require action in a very short timeframe, the procedure provided for in Article 18b shall apply to delegated acts adopted pursuant to this Article. A new assessment must be available at least once every three years for as long as exposure continues. An individual health record shall be established in accordance with national laws and/or practices for each worker referred to in the first subparagraph.’;
