On October 1, OSHA initiated a national emphasis program (NEP) on safety recordkeeping designed to enforce regulatory requirements—they’re looking for employers who are underreporting injuries and illnesses. They’ve got their fine-toothed combs out, and now is not a good time for you to be unprepared.
In addition to helping you avoid costly OSHA citations, smart recordkeeping practices can also help you make injury-reducing and profit-boosting improvements by allowing you to learn from past mistakes.
Join us on December 1 for an in-depth 90-minute webinar designed to help you track and record injuries and illnesses in compliance with the OSHA recordkeeping standard. Bring your managers along as we walk you through the key elements of an effective recordkeeping program.
You and your colleagues will learn:
- What to expect from OSHA’s new focus on recordkeeping—and how to get ready
- How to decipher the OSHA recordkeeping standard, and what you need to do to be in compliance
- Which forms to use, and how to complete them properly
- How to maintain employees’ privacy when reporting an incident
- Which incidents must be reported—and by when—and which merely need to be recorded
- How to perform a recordkeeping audit and assess the working environment
- How to differentiate between medical treatment and first aid, and why the distinction matters
- The proper use of the three often-confused forms: OSHA Log Form 300, OSHA Form 301, and OSHA Form 300A (annual summary)
- Which cases require restricted work activity or days away from work, and how to record the number of days
- Some of the frequently misunderstood terms in recordkeeping
