OSHA Recordkeeping for 2017: Beyond the OSHA 300 Summary

Why Should You Attend:

Most U.S. based organizations have a responsibility to complete specific injury and illness recordkeeping forms as mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The problem with these forms is that they are usually filled out incorrectly. Over-recording, under-recording and violations of privacy are common mistakes made by organizations and these critical mistakes will result in OSHA citations and fines.

OSHA injury and illness documentation has been a recent focus of the agency and the government is so serious about recordkeeping reports that it recently launched a National Emphasis Program (NEP) to target bad performers. In fact, last year OSHA sent out over 15,000 warning letters to organizations with elevated injury rates.

This webinar will help attendees to be prepared and compliant with these often confusing injury and illness recordkeeping rules.
