ABC is reminding its contractor member firms that Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses must be posted in a conspicuous place on all construction sites Feb. 1 through April 20.
The summaries, which are required by OSHA annually, list the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2011 and were logged on the employer's OSHA 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.. Employment information about the average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year also is required. Companies with no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2011 must post the form with zeros on the total line.
All summaries must be certified by a company executive and displayed in a common area where notices to employees are typically posted.
In addition, ABC would also like to remind its’ contractor members to please participate in the OSHA Form 300A Data-Gathering Project, which closes Feb. 29. The form is anonymous, and all data collected will be used by ABC to analyze merit shop safety performance as compared to the overall construction industry.
