OSHA 300 Log Posting Dates
Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, January 18, 2023
IAMU members should note that the annual deadline for posting the OSHA 300A injury summary is February 1, 2023. All incidents of work-related injuries and illnesses must also be logged within seven days (Form 300) and detailed injury and illness reports for each entry (Form 301) must also be completed.

If there are more than 10 employees at any time during that calendar year, the employer may come under these requirements.  When counting employees, you must include full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal workers.  This exemption is based on the employment of the entire city rather than the establishment.  For example, if a city has two establishments like water and public works, one with 5 employees and one with 7 employees, the city must fill out the forms for each establishment because the city employment is greater than 10.

The summary should contain the total numbers of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2022 that were logged on the OSHA 300 form.  Employment information regarding the annual average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year is needed to calculate incidence rates.

Even if there were no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2022, you are still required to post the form with zeros on the total line. The 300A summary must remain posted until April 30, 2023.

You may download forms 300, 300A, 301 from OSHA’s Injury & Illness Recordkeeping Forms Web page here or contact IAMU at safety_faq@iamu.org

OSHA’s new Heat Illness Prevention efforts
Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, July 27, 2022

OSHA has long recognized the potentially fatal hazard of working in excessive heat and you are probably aware of OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention Campaign. This is an educational program designed to address the hazards of working in hot environments and requires that employers develop a written plan incorporating specific steps that must be taken for employee safety in those conditions. Heat conditions can change rapidly and management commitment to adjusting heat stress controls is critical to prevent heat illness.

We now have a program template that can be customized to address your specific working conditions and the steps you will take to prevent heat-related illnesses. An individual at the worksite should be responsible for monitoring conditions and implementing the employer's heat plan throughout the workday. A recording is also available to provide basic heat stress education for both employers and employees.

The Heat Stress / Illness Prevention written program is available HERE.  Please note, you must log into the website with your member credentials to access this content. For help accessing your account, please contact Josh Trout at jtrout@iamu.org or (800) 810-4268.
