Ensuring workplace safety is paramount for both employers and employees, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) injury reporting requirements play a pivotal role in this regard. By mandating the reporting of work-related injuries and illnesses, OSHA helps identify hazards, prevent future incidents, and ultimately save lives. Prompt reporting enables employers to investigate incidents, implement corrective measures, and improve safety protocols, fostering a culture of safety within organizations. Moreover, accurate injury data allows OSHA to identify trends, prioritize inspections, and develop targeted interventions to mitigate risks across industries. To assist employers in understanding and complying with these vital reporting requirements, OSHA regularly offers free webinars. These webinars cover various topics, including the importance of injury reporting, OSHA recordkeeping requirements, and best practices for creating a safe work environment. By attending these informative sessions, employers can gain valuable insights, learn about recent updates or changes in regulations, and receive guidance on how to effectively report workplace injuries and illnesses. Ultimately, these webinars empower employers to fulfill their legal obligations, protect their workforce, and promote a culture of safety that benefits everyone involved. February 14, 9-10:15 a.m. EST: This presentation will explain the process for electronically submitting 2023 workplace injury and illness data through OSHA's online Injury Tracking Application. February 28, 9-10:15 a.m. EST: This presentation will be an overview of OSHA’s recordkeeping requirements and address common mistakes made by employers, incentive and disincentive programs, and tips on how an employer can effectively audit their recordkeeping program. Additional information on OSHA Injury and Illness Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements can be found at the following link: Recordkeeping - Overview | Occupational Safety and Health Administration (osha.gov) Employers must post their Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300A) from February 1 - April 30, as noted at https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping and must maintain those records for at least 5 years. Electronic submission is required by March 2nd for companies in the construction industry with 20 or more employees per https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/naics-codes-electronic-submission.
