OSHA Reminds Employers to Post Injury/Illness Summaries 3
1/4/2007
 Washington -- It is posting requirement time according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Employers with 11 or more employees need to post the OSHA 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. The summary is based on the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2006. Companies with no injuries and illnesses in 2006 should post the form with zeros on the total line.
Summaries should remain posted from Feb. 1 to April 30, 2007, and be displayed in a common area.
The summary includes information on type of injury and illness, extent and outcome and alerts employees to possible hazards. Employment information regarding annual average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year is also required to assist in calculating incidence rates.
Employers with ten or fewer employees and employers in certain industry groups are normally exempt from federal OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping and posting requirements. A complete list of exempt industries in the retail, services, finance and real estate sectors is posted on OSHA's web site.
