What We Do For You

Did You Know?
- All employers with 11 or more employees are required to keep OSHA
record keeping logs. In federally OSHA run states, some industry exemptions apply. - Upon request by OSHA,
and employer has 4 hours to produce their OSHA logs. - A recordable must be on the individual log within 7 days of the
employer’s first notice. - Each individual establishment within your company must have a separate OSHA log and each establishment must post its own 300A form from February 1st to April 30th even if there were no injuries the previous year.
- OSHA logs must be maintained and updated for 5 years.
- Penalties for nonserious violations generally range from $0 to $1,000,
although the law allows for up to $7,000 to be assessed. - Work comp compensable does not always mean recordable and an OSHA recordable is not always a compensable work comp claim.
- There is a difference between a
work related injury and awork related illness Some are required to be reported to OSHA within a certain window of timein addition to the log. - Contaminated needle stick and other contaminated sharps
incidents are recordable and are considered a “privacy case” even if medical treatment was not required. - There is more to counting days than 1,2,3…For example, a day may
be considered a lostwork day even if the employee was not scheduled to work. - The Federal OSHA deadline for online reporting is March 2nd.
