Employers Must Post OSHA Logs through April 30

Beginning February 1 through April 30, 2011, employers must post a summary of the total number of work-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2010. This information, contained on the OSHA 300A Log or an equivalent form, will provide an indication of the employer’s provision of safe and healthful working conditions.

CWA leaders and workplace safety and health activists should review the posted information to ensure that it includes all of the OSHA-recordable cases of workplace injuries and illnesses. Also, local safety and health activists should go one step further by requesting a copy of the OSHA 300 Log. The Log contains more detailed information about the summarized information contained on the OSHA 300A Log.

If local leaders and activists identify cases that should have been included on the Logs, please contact the Union’s Safety and Health Department, as well as the nearest office of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration or, in states with state-administered plans, the appropriate state office and bring this issue to the agency’s attention. If you need assistance in completing this process or have questions or comments regarding the injury and illness Logs or a related issue, please contact the CWA Occupational Safety and Health Department at:
