Tomorrow, February 1, is the deadline for posting the Cal-OSHA Form 300A, annual summary log of injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2006. The form must remain posted until April 30, 2007.
Even if you had no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2006, you must still post a summary with zeros in the total line. This posting requirement applies to most employers that had 10 or more employees in 2006, and it is designed to alert workers to hazards that may exist in their workplace. Be sure to post the summary in a conspicuous place where you normally post notices to employees, such as a break room. And, during the posting period, you are responsible for making sure employees don’t deface the posting or cover it up with other material.
Note, too, that Cal-OSHA requires you to mail or provide the annual summary to employees who don’t normally report at least weekly to a location where the annual summary for their workplace is posted.
