Recordkeeping is important to a variety of organizational operations, but when it comes to occupational safety and health, it’s required. OSHA’s recordkeeping standards and regulations mandates that companies record occupational injuries and illnesses and report certain incidents to the agency. Aside from OSHA’s Part 1904 requirements, there are many additional recordkeeping and documentation mandates and best practices that, if ignored, can trigger penalties as high as $129,336 per violation. Knowing the important elements of these critical standards is key to an effective safety and health program and to avoid civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance.
