Have you reviewed you OSHA 300 log and 301 forms? It’s time!

Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, January 19, 2022

It’s that time of year again – time to review your OSHA 300 log entries and corresponding 301 forms. Any errors that you find on the log should be corrected and that data is used for the summary information that will be on the posted 300A. Please ensure that the 300A is posted for only employees to review as this is not public information.

If you need a refresher on the 1904 Recordkeeping standard and the particulars of recordable criteria, you may view a recorded webinar here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh-M4wKq7UA

OSHA is to increase penalties attached to citations effective January 15, 2022. This is an increase that was enacted due to the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 and will also be followed by Iowa OSHA. Table 1 below reflects the current penalty structure.

As always, if you have recordkeeping questions or safety concerns contact Margret Meade @ 515.210.6617 or mmeade@iamu.org.

North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Codes for Municipalities

Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, January 13, 2021
The NAICS codes are used to describe your primary business activity at a certain location or establishment as used in OSHA’s recordkeeping regulation. The codes start with a 2 digit number; for example, all utilities fall under NAICS 22 and eventually are broken down into 6 digits that describe specific activities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics and OSHA use the codes to determine specific work tasks and typical exposures of that industry. For instance, even though a police department may be housed in city hall (NAICS 921110), police officers (NAICS 922120) will have substantially different tasks and would need a separate 300 log for recordable injuries or illnesses. The same practice would apply to other work activities conducted by municipal employees. The following NAICS codes are those that are applicable to most municipal work activities. If you have any questions about your NAICS code and how they relate to work tasks or have additional departments that may not be listed below, please contact Margret Meade by email mmeade@iamu.org or by phone at 515.210.6617.

OSHA's Newest Recordkeeping Rule in Question

Posted By IAMU, Tuesday, March 21, 2017

During last year’s OSHA 300 Log Recordkeeping workshops (29 CFR 1904 Recording and Reporting Occupational Illnesses and Injuries), IAMU discussed OSHA’s new electronic submission of records rule.  This rule was scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2017. This new rule required employers in listed industries, or those with 250 or more employees, to electronically submit injury and illness data electronically to OSHA. The webpage for data entry was scheduled to be posted on OSHA’s website by February 1, 2017 and all of the data entered by July 1, 2017. This webpage was not posted and most likely never will be.

With the change of administration, it is anticipated that this rule will be revoked. On February 21, 2017, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce introduced H.J.RES.83 – Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to "Clarification of Employer's Continuing Obligation to Make and Maintain an Accurate Record of Each Recordable Injury and Illness". The legislation passed the House on March 1, 2017 and was received in the Senate on March 2, 2017. To follow the progress on this legislation, go to www.congress.gov and type the resolution number in the ‘search’ box.

IAMU will continue to monitor the progress of this legislation to overturn the new recordkeeping requirements.
