As 2011 fast approaches, it will soon be time to close out your OSHA Injury & Illness logs for 2010.  Just a reminder that the Form 300A must be certified by a company executive and posted by February 1 and remain posted until April 30 each year.  Similar to the Department of Labor posters, the Form 300A should be posted in a location where notices are customarily posted for all of your employees.

If you are unsure about the recordkeeping requirements for your business, OSHA provides a list of exempt industries on its website at http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/ppt1/RK1exempttable.html.

For more information, interpretations, and the forms needed to meet the recordkeeping requirements, visit http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html.

As always, please feel free to contact us for guidance on this or other OSHA compliance concerns.
