OSHA Reminds Employers to Post Injury/Illness Summaries Beginning February 1

Beginning February 1, employers are required by OSHA to post a summary of the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred last year.

Employers are only required to post the Summary (OSHA Form 300A) – not the OSHA 300 Log – from Feb.1 to Apr. 30.

Total numbers of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2005 should be listed in the summary. Employment information about annual average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year also is required to assist in calculating incidence rates.

The form should be displayed in a common area wherever notices to employees are usually posted.

You can find more information of labor law in www.postersolution.com, and community.poster4business.com will provide you the state, federal & OSHA labor law compliance information and services.
