Recordkeeping: Injury and Illness
Course Description:
| When an employee at your facility reports an injury, do you know how to determine whether it should be recorded on your Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300 log, when an injury or illness case is considered work-related, and when an incident warrants a phone call to OSHA? This course provides supervisors, managers, and other personnel responsible for recording work-related injuries and illnesses with information to comply with OSHA’s injury and illness recordkeeping rule, including electronic recordkeeping and informing workers of their rights and responsibilities for reporting injuries. By the end of the training, you will be able to determine whether your employer is required to keep injury and illness records; determine whether an injury or illness is a recordable case; fill out recordkeeping forms properly; report fatalities and severe injuries to the government; determine whether your establishment is required to submit records electronically to OSHA; and inform employees of their rights to report injuries and illnesses free from retaliation. |
