OSHA Record Keeping & Electronic Filing Workshop
Friday, Jan. 13, 2017 from 8AM to 11AM
MCA Construction Education Institute, Burr Ridge, IL

This ain't your grandpa’s OSHA recordkeeping workshop... OSHA recordkeeping is a subject that surfaces most often during the month of January when the logs are tallied and the OSHA 300A form is completed and posted by February 1st. Employers were not required, unless specifically instructed, to provide this information to OSHA by mail or electronically.

In May of 2016, OSHA published a final rule that will require most employers with more than 20 employees to file their OSHA log information electronically. In the electronic age, this sounds logical and efficient, but the implications are huge. The agency will have real time access to an employers’ injury data which could be used to trigger an inspection. Worse, this data will be available to the general public and insurance companies. Accurately completing a log is now more important than ever. The information entered on the 2016 OSHA log will be required to be reported to OSHA by July of 2017. Gary Glader (BA Safety & Health Committee member) from member company The Horton Group will explain the specific requirements of the new law and, more importantly, how to complete your log accurately so mistakes don’t trigger an inspection, loss of business, or diminished public relations.
