Workplace Injury/Illness Data Must be Posted by Tuesday

Starting Tuesday, Feb. 1, employers are required by OSHA to post their summary of 2010 work-related injuries and illnesses. The summary must be accessible to workers and remain posted until April 30.

CWA is asking local leaders and safety and health activists to review the summary and ensure that it includes all OSHA-recordable cases. In addition, locals should request a copy of the OSHA 300 Log, which contains more detailed information.

Locals that determine that cases are missing from the summary or 300 Log should contact both CWA headquarters and their nearest federal OSHA office. For questions, or to report missing information to CWA, contact Safety and Health Director Dave LeGrande at (202) 434-1160 or by e-mail at legrande@cwa-union.org. More information is also available at CWA's Safety and Health website.
