Do You Need A Recordkeeping Checklist?

Make sure your organization keeps records up to date. Using a recordkeeping checklist will ensure that nothing gets missed.

You can download the Boyer Safety & Compliance Recordkeeping Checklist, which covers these topics:

• Are all recordable injury or illnesses being recorded as required on the OSHA 300 log?

• Are employees medical records and records of employee exposure to hazardous substances or harmful physical agents up-to-date and in compliance with current OSHA standards?

• Are employee-training records kept and accessible for review by employees, when required by OSHA standards?

• Have arrangements been made to maintain required records for the legal period of time for each specific type record? (Some records must be maintained for at least 40 years.)

• Are operating permits and records up-to-date for such items as elevators, air pressure tanks, and liquefied petroleum gas tanks?
