OSHA Recordkeeping for Managers and Supervisors

A primary duty of both managers and supervisors is to create and maintain a safe work environment for their employees. However, accidents still happen. After these incidents, it falls to management to document them, as a proper understanding of past dangers helps prevent future ones. But how do you know what to report? And do you even know how to report it? Often called Part 1904, after its federal regulation part number, OSHA has created a recordkeeping process to specifically address these questions. This system is a powerful tool in documenting and preventing workplace injuries and illnesses, and it is critical you know the proper methods OSHA sets aside that govern Part 1904. There are rules concerning what kinds of incidents are reportable, as well as the types of forms to use while reporting them. Learn the proper techniques, incident categories, and document usage, through the information presented in this online training video.

By gathering information about workplace incidents, you can see the patterns concerning when these accidents occur, who they occur to, and what types of accidents are likely to occur. By studying these patterns, you can create additional safety measures to help protect your employees from any future dangers. This allows your workers to know beforehand the hazards they may face while at work, thus enabling them to better protect themselves. Furthermore, because they know the importance of the recordkeeping process, they are more likely to report any incidents on their own, making the workplace even safer. Use this online training video to understand the proper protocols and methods for documenting and reporting incidents and illnesses.
