The OSHA recordkeeping requirements have been around for decades. Employers of various sizes in a wide range of industries are required to complete the records; many must also notify OSHA of serious events and submit their injury and illness data electronically to OSHA each year. Fines and penalties for providing inaccurate information can be substantial, as can the impact on company brand from the potential negative publicity. An ongoing challenge is how best to comply with the requirements, which sometimes can be difficult to understand.

This one-hour session will provide a quick overview of recent recordkeeping developments, followed by a review of the decision logic used to determine which cases should be recorded. Special emphasis will be given to how to decide whether a case is work related under OSHA since this part of the process is where most struggle.
