“ OSHA ’ s Recordkeeping Requirements , Are you in Compliance ?” Webinar — January 10th , 2024 @ 10:00 am
During the Obama Administration , OSHA made numerous changes to its occupational injury and illness recordkeeping and reporting requirements negatively impacting employers . These changes to its recordkeeping standard dramatically increased employers ' reporting requirements , including how employers reported fatalities and hospitalizations . The Biden Administration is focusing strongly on recordkeeping violations to increase the number of citations and penalty amounts received by employers .
Many employers think their OSHA recordkeeping logs and procedures are fully compliant , only to learn after an OSHA inspection and , in some cases , hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties , that they were not . Under OSHA ' s recordkeeping regulation , covered employers are required to prepare and maintain logs for work-related occupational injuries and illnesses as well fatalities , using the OSHA 300 log . In addition , on February 1 of each year , all covered employers must post their 300A summaries for three ( 3 ) months .
This presentation will :
( 1 ) examine the many recordkeeping errors that employers make , especially those involving the use of temporary employees .
( 2 ) cover how to coordinate your injury and illness recordkeeping with other recordkeeping requirements and how employers can effectively use recordkeeping to improve their current safety and health management program .
( 3 ) examine in detail the increased employer reporting requirements and expanded liability for all employers .
