OSHA Requires Posting 2003 Job-Related Injuries and Illnesses

NAHB’s Labor, Safety & Health Services department is reminding association members of requirements by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for posting a summary of the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2003.

Employers are required to total the column entries that were logged onto OSHA Form 300 last year and enter this information on OSHA 300-A, the annual summary form.

The annual summary form must be certified by a company executive and signed and dated. The form must then be displayed from Feb. 1 to April 30 in a common area where notices to employees are usually posted.

Employers must make a copy of the summary available to employees who move from work site to work site, such as construction workers, and to employees who do not report to any fixed establishment on a regular basis.

Employers with 10 or fewer employees are generally exempt.
