What should be done with the OSHA 200 Log at the end of each year?

At the end of each year, the OSHA 200 Log, which is a record of work-related injuries and illnesses, should be summarized, and this summary must be posted in a visible area for employees to view, typically during the month of February. This requirement ensures transparency within the workplace regarding safety issues and helps employees understand the extent of workplace injuries and illnesses. By posting the summary, organizations comply with OSHA regulations aimed at fostering a safer work environment through awareness and education. This practice not only fulfills legal obligations but also promotes a culture of safety and encourages open communication among employees about workplace hazards. The summary provides valuable information that can assist in identifying trends and areas that need improvement in workplace safety and health management.
