OSHA Form 300A, the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, must be completed and posted by February 1, 2019. The summary must include the total number of 2018 job-related injuries and illnesses that were logged on your OSHA 300 form.
If your company had no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2018, you must still post the form with zeros on the total line. All summaries must be certified by a company executive and remain displayed in a common area between February 1 and April 30, 2019.
Employers with ten or fewer employees at all times during the previous calendar year are exempt from routinely keeping injury and illness records.

Hellman & Associates’ COMPLIANCEAction Assessment identifies gaps in your program and training, and our ASSUREDComplianceSM partnership guarantees you meet regulatory requirements across OSHA, EPA, FMCSA / DOT, and state and local agencies–meaning if you incur a citation for something we should have managed, we pay it.

Fines are just one of the expense factors associated with safety incidents. Other costs range from medical to administrative to loss in productivity–and an enduring cost–the increase to your Workers’ Compensation modifier, which will increase your premium for years to come if you experience a workplace injury.
