Course Description
Each year the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) issues over $25 Million in fines to non-compliant organizations. Many of these fines are for paperwork that is not filled out correctly!
For instance, did you know that your OSHA Summary Form 300-A must be posted by February 1 of the year following the year covered by the form - and that you must keep it posted until April 30 of that year?
Learning ObjectivesOSHA Injury and Illness documentation has been a focus of OSHA recently, and this audio conference will get you prepared AND compliant with these often confusing Injury & Illness Recordkeeping rules.

- The #1 OSHA recordkeeping violation...and how to make sure your company doesn't get nailed for it
- What injuries and illnesses must be recorded and why it is critical to avoid "over-reporting"
- How the OSHA 300 Log trips up many managers, and what you can do so you don't get saddled with a costly citation
- A valuable four-step action plan that you can use to determine when an injury needs to be documented
- CAUTION! If you are exempt from OSHA Form 300, you are not exempt from OSHA's or the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Survey Form. Find out why
- How to show "good faith" in your OSHA records so you'll never get slapped with an expensive "willful" violation
- How your documentation techniques should change between your OSHA 300 Log and the 301 Incident Report
