Important Reporting Notice For Employers For 2013
Employers with 11 or more employees in the previous year — except those in certain low-hazard establishments in the retail, services, finance, and real estate sectors (list of exempted establishments) — are required to maintain records of work-related injuries and illnesses and post the summary of their records for calendar year 2013.
OSHA currently requires employers to fill out the OSHA 300 log per location and the OSHA 300A. The Form 300A must be displayed in a conspicuous place or places where notices to employees are customarily posted. Companies with no injuries and illnesses in 2013 should post the Form 300A with zeros on the total line.
