As the United States remains in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant attention has been placed on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA” or the “Agency”) and the efforts taken by the Agency to help in the federal response. 

The annual ASA Safety Award, sponsored by the ASA Safety Committee, recognizes ASA members that have shown they have gone above and beyond in the area of worker safety.

With 2020 well underway, our safety professionals have printed off a fresh batch of OSHA 300 forms and are duly recording work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses that occur in workplaces this year.

OSHA 300 logs (300, 300A and 301) document the workplace injury and illness records and ensure they are properly displayed for employees and appropriate management to view. The following are some key aspects of understanding when and how to complete the logs.

Despite our best intentions, safety professionals focus sharply on compliance. Our attention locks on the hundreds of regulatory pages promulgated by OSHA, DOT, EPA, etc., as we decipher the necessary steps to stay out of trouble.

VPP certification should be pursued for the safety and well-being of your employees.

Applications must be received no later than Aug. 31, 2018.

Revamp your program to reward employees for engaging in the process.
