Small Business Webinar: OSHA's New Record Keeping Requirements
Press release from the issuing company
Friday, February 6th, 2015
On January 1, 2015, a OSHA rule on occupational injury and illness recordkeeping dramatically increased employers' reporting requirements. In a surprise move, OSHA also announced that the information obtained from these new reporting requirements would be made public on OSHA's web site. 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. Presented by Ed Foulke and Tex McIver from Fisher & Phillips LLP.
Who Should Attend: HR and safety professionals, plant managers, operations personnel, companies with temporary employees, company attorneys.
This presentation will:
- Review the essential components of a comprehensive recordkeeping and reporting program that are required by OSHA
- Discuss and highlight recordkeeping and reporting best practices that you should consider
- Discuss the records you must keep including injury/illness, training, certifications, maintenance, inspections, MSDS, and procedures for statutory compliance
- Recommend strategies for accurately documenting your program
- Discuss strategies for ensuring that you maintain current records both for posting at work and for producing for an inspector
- Review the key component of the injury and illness recordkeeping requirements including criteria for first aid and medical treatment determination
- Review OSHA reporting requirements and time lines
- Discuss the proper use of the three essential forms: 300A (annual summary); 300 Log Form; and Form 301
- Explain how OSHA uses recordkeeping data for targeting inspections
- Suggest ways of performing a recordkeeping and reporting audit; and explain how records can help you improve safe practices and employee performance.
