“OSHA Recordkeeping for Leadership: OSHA's 300's”

 

REGISTER HERE for this live, interactive Webcast that you can join from your office!

Date and Time:

     * Wednesday, October 7, 2020, from 2:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Overview:

 OSHA requires employers to maintain careful recordkeeping on all fatalities, injuries and illnesses of covered employees that are work related, are new cases and that meet the recording criteria.  This required recordkeeping is independent of Workers' Compensation.

 

By the end of the webcast, participants will be able to:

  • Better understand OSHA recordkeeping rules.

  • Understand that workers’ compensation rules and OSHA recordkeeping rules are distinctly different.

  • Gain an overall understanding why events are recorded and why they are not.

  • Understand how to manage this issue.

How does the webcast work?

It's easy and convenient!  A virtual seminar is one that you can "attend" and participate in right from your offices. There is no travel time, and now provided at NO COST to RFA members!
      

The RFA Technical Webcast will include live audio along with a slide presentation on the Web. You just need a phone connection for the audio and an Internet connection.  

In addition, the webcast will allow you to comment and ask questions at specified times during the event using your phone.
     

You can invite staff members to listen and participate too!  To get the most out of a webcast, it is recommended that you have no more than five people at any one computer connection. If you have multiple locations, please register each location separately.
