OSHA announced on Oct. 2, 2009, that there will be a new National Emphasis Program (NEP) on recordkeeping to assess the accuracy of injury and illness data recorded by employers. As a result, OSHA inspectors will be fanning out across the country with the sole purpose of conducting recordkeeping inspections.

Would you be ready tomorrow if an OSHA inspector came to your door?

If your facility is chosen for an NEP inspection, the OSHA inspector will review the following records from 2007 and 2008: medical records, workers’ comp records, insurance records, payroll absentee records, company safety incident reports, company first aid logs, alternate duty rosters, and disciplinary records pertaining to injuries and illness.

The inspector will then cross reference all the gathered data to ensure that you’re properly recording injuries and interview the record-keeper to check for a sufficient level of knowledge of OSHA recordkeeping regulations.

CBIA’s OSHA recordkeeping program will provide you with the information you need to ensure that your various records are correct and your OSHA 300 log accurately reflect your company’s compliance with OSHA regulations.

We’ll also cover a variety of other OSHA recordkeeping requirements concerning training and medical compliance. In just three hours, you’ll learn

• The OSHA definitions of injury and illness
• How to correctly record injuries and illnesses
• What you must—and what you can’t—show employees
• What training you need to provide to anyone with access to your OSHA records
• How the injury and illness log differs from the incident report
• Whether there are any illnesses you cannot record
• How to document training
• What medical records you must keep, who can access them, and how long you must keep them
