Description The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has updated their recordkeeping requirements for the first time since 1971. This
results in a significant number of changes for every employer with ten or more employees, which can often cause confusion and failure
to comply. OSHA 2002 Recordkeeping Simplified goes beyond the explanation that OSHA supplies to provide an easy understanding of these
new requirements.
OSHA 2002 Recordkeeping Simplified provides an easy to follow format that allows all those in charge of recordkeeping
to comply with the updated standards. The book follows the standards as OSHA provides them and adds commentary in order to explain and
simplify. Jim Roughton provides a comparison of the old standards to the new to allow for an easier transition.
The text is divided
into several major subject sections. First the requirements are addressed to outline new elements compared to the current requirements.
Next the supplement information for each subject area is divided into several parts: The first part reviews the relevant sections of
the requirement and provides the basic concepts of how recordkeeping works; the second part provides answers to most frequently asked
questions about recording and reporting of occupational injuries and illnesses. These questions and answers elaborate on the basic recordkeeping
concepts and are further defined in each section. In addition, a series of flow diagrams are used to track the flow of the standard
and examples of citations are offered through case histories.
