OSHA
recordkeeping is not required for certain retail trades and some service industries.
Exempt employers, like nonexempt employers, must comply with OSHA standards, display the
OSHA poster, and report in detail any accident that results in one or more fatalities or
the hospitalization of three or more employees to OSHA within 8 hours. In states with approved plans, employers report such accidents to the state agency responsible for safety and health programs. Recordkeeping forms are maintained on a calendar year basis. They are not sent to OSHA or any other agency. They must be maintained for five years at the establishment and must be available for inspection by OSHA representatives, HHS, or the designated state agency. Many specific OSHA standards have additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements. (See The Recordkeeping and Reporting section for additional information.) |
