Description
You might be required to maintain a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. If you are an employer with more than 10 employees, although there are certain low-risk industries that are exempted, it is important to know how OSHA classifies a high-risk injury and how it defines a recordable injury or illness. Employers, workers and OSHA use this information to evaluate the safety of your workplace. This information helps in understanding industry hazards and lay out basic requirements to implement worker protections, so workplace hazards can be reduced and eliminated and the future workplace injuries and illnesses can be prevented.
OSHA requires affected employers to maintain and update OSHA 300 logs and to document recordable injuries and illnesses. OSHA also requires these employers to prepare the OSHA 300A summary by February every year. Affected employers are required to submit information from the OSHA 300A summary electronically on OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) website.
2022 saw many changes in health and safety and updates to OSHA Recordkeeping regulatory guidelines. This has created a lot of questions and concerns from companies about what this requirement means and what OSHA will do with this information. This training will provide a comprehensive overview of what the updated 2022 OSHA 300 Log Recordkeeping Reporting Requirements are so that a beginner or a seasoned EHS Professional will have confidence in knowing how to fill these out quickly and correctly.
