Cost: Free to Members and Non-Members
Description: Participants will become familiar with the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) requirements to follow the OSHA recordkeeping standards when recording injuries and illnesses that are determined to be work-related. The state of Wisconsin requires that municipalities keep records of recordable injuries and illnesses by using either the OSHA 300 log or form SBD 10710A. This program will also teach individuals the following:
- When is an injury or illness considered work-related?
- What is medical treatment?
- What is first aid?
- How do you decide if the case involves restricted work?
- How do you count the number of days of restricted work activity or the number of days away from work?
- What if the case is no longer determined to be work-related?
- How do you define an injury versus an illness?
- What type of injuries and illnesses trigger State notification?
- What is an OSHA 300a and when does it need to be posted in the workplace?
- Who should be signing the OSHA 300A?
- What is the Electronic Safety Licensing Application (eSLA) and do you need to submit your OSHA 300a summaries into this system by March 1st every year?
Participants will be provided opportunities to use the skills they have learned to determine if example cases are recordable and how to properly fill out the logs, summaries, and how to submit the OSHA 300a into the eSLA.
