Risk Matrix #123: OSHA Logs Are Due: Don’t Make These 5 Costly Mistakes
OSHA 300 logs are due. If you’re working on them right now, you know how easy it is to second-guess every entry. First aid or recordable? Who signs? Do I need to file electronically?
Dr. Martin and James break down the five recordkeeping pitfalls that trip up even experienced safety professionals, including the $2,500 electronic filing mistake you don’t want to make.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If it’s not on OSHA’s first aid list in 1904, it’s not first aid. Check the official list and interpretations before logging anything as non-recordable.
- Company owners must sign OSHA 300 logs, not safety professionals. When executives sign, they’re certifying the entries are true, accurate, and complete.
- Electronic filing is mandatory for companies with 250+ employees and high-risk companies with 100-150+ employees. Missing the deadline can cost $2,500 per violation.
