OSHA Recordkeeping: Clean-up Time!
Time to start cranking up on those OSHA logs. November and December are usually the months business owners clean up Worker Injury and Illness records in preparation for the recordkeeping scramble in January. Covered employers* are required to:
- Post your OSHA Form 300A Summary in an area available to employees and employee representatives, February 1 – April 30, and
- Provide your OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses during 2020 in electronic format to Federal OSHA by March 2, 2021.
NOTE: This exemption does not apply if the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), OSHA or DOSH notifies you to comply.
*Small employers and low-risk businesses may be exempt from these requirements if: (1) They have 10 or fewer employees at all times during the previous calendar year at all of their combined business locations. (2) The business is included on the industry exemption list in Table 1 under WAC 296-27-00105.
