OSHA reminds employers to post injury and illness summaries

OSHA is reminding employers to post OSHA Form 300A between Feb. 1 and April 30, 2013.
The summary should be made visible for all employees and must include the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses from 2012 logged on the OSHA Form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.

In certain industries, employers with 10 or fewer employees and employers are exempt from federal OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping and posting requirements. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics may still select exempted employers to participate in an annual statistical survey. A complete list of exempt industries can be found at http://s.dol.gov/YP.

Copies of OSHA Forms 300 and 300A are available at http://s.dol.gov/YQ. For more information on recordkeeping requirements, visit the OSHA Injury and Illness Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements Web page.
