South Carolina OSHA Reminds Employers to Post Injury/Illness Summaries Beginning February 1

Beginning February 1, employers must post a summary of the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred last year. According to LLR' Office of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA), employers are only required to post the Summary (OSHA Form 300A) -- not the OSHA 300 Log -- from Feb.1 to Apr. 30, 2010.

The summary must list the total numbers of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2009 and were logged on the OSHA 300 form. Employment information about annual average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year is also required to assists in calculating incidence rates. Companies with no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2009 must post the form with zeros on the total line. All establishment summaries must be certified by a company executive.
