Recording injuries and illnesses is not only required by law, but it's also a valuable way to identify and prevent safety and health hazards in the workplace. This newly updated edition examines the requirements of Code of Federal Regulations Title 29 Part 1904 and explains, in clear terms, what your responsibilities are and how to fulfill them. You'll learn how to determine if an injury or illness is recordable, which recordkeeping forms to use and how to complete them, and how to calculate an injury and illness incidence rate. You'll also gain a clearer understanding of who is subject to OSHA recordkeeping and how OSHA enforces the recordkeeping rule. The author includes a list of frequently asked questions and a glossary of recordkeeping terms.
