In the exposure control plan, are employers required to list specific tasks that place the employee at risk for all job classifications?

No. If all the employees within a specific job classification perform duties where occupational exposure occurs, then a list of specific tasks and procedures is not required for that job classification. However, the job classification (e.g., “nurse”) must be listed in the plan’s exposure determination, and all employees within the job classification must be included under the requirements of the standard.
