CT CONN-OSHA Workshop Scheduled For November 6

Wethersfield, CT (WorkersCompensation.com) -  A Nov. 6 record keeping workshop sponsored by the Connecticut Department of Labor’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CONN‐OSHA) will provide attendees with guidance and tips for ensuring information is accurate and properly kept up‐to‐date.

The free training session, led by CONN‐OHSA Research Analyst Erin Wilkins, will be held in the agency’s Central Office, 200 Folly Brook Boulevard, from 8:30 a.m. to noon.  Session will be held at Connecticut Department of Labor‘s Wethersfield Central Office

“When an OSHA inspector visits an establishment, he or she will typically start with a review of the OSHA recordkeeping log,” Wilkins explains. “Unfortunately, too often the forms not properly completed. OSHA recordkeeping rules can be confusing, but our training strives to make them more user‐friendly.”

According to Wilkins, Recordkeeping rules changed dramatically in 2002, and as a result, many employers are reporting occupational injuries and illnesses inaccurately. She notes that attendees will learn how to properly maintain the following three OSHA documents:

· Form 300: Log of Work‐Related Injuries and Illnesses
· Form 300A: Summary of Work‐Related Injuries and Illnesses
· Form 301: Injury and Illness Incident Report
