the facility shall have a health examination within 6 months prior to
employment or within 15 days after employment and at least annually thereafter
by a person lawfully authorized to perform such examinations. Each such
examination shall include a medical history, physical evaluation and laboratory
work as indicated. The health examination report, signed by the examiner, shall

to a physician to determine if a chest X-ray is necessary. Annual examinations
shall be performed only when medically indicated.
(c) The facility shall maintain a health
record of the administrator and each employee which includes reports of all
employment-related health examinations.
