SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - IBM, the world's biggest computer company, will give its U.S. employees online access to their medical records, making it one of the first large companies to put workers' health data on the Internet.

IBM's roughly 133,000 workers in the United States will have the option to enroll in the online information system, IBM said in a memo scheduled to be sent to employees early on Wednesday. They can also sign up their dependents.

IBM said in the memo that workers' health records will be kept strictly confidential. Only employees will have access to their medical records, which are protected by federal privacy and security rules as well as IBM's own policies.
