This was our response:
The intent of industrial hygiene surveys is to identify possible
risks to worker health and the need for further evaluating and testing

Recognized hazards covered under the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act—ergonomics and heat illness—may also fall under the exposure and medical recordkeeping requirements.
OSHA will review baseline surveys for safety and health hazards, including all industrial hygiene sampling records during an inspection.
