Employers Must Post Job-Related Injuries Summary by Feb. 1

The CalChamber is reminding employers that they must post a summary of job-related injuries and illnesses from 2011 at their place of business by February 1.

The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) requires employers to display the Cal/OSHA Log 300 Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Form 300A) from February 1 to April 30 for employee review.

Companies that had 10 or fewer employees at all times during the last calendar year do not need to keep Cal/OSHA injury and illness records. Employers with 11 or more employees, except those covered in the California low-hazard establishments in the retail, service, finance and real estate sectors, must display the totals from the Form 300A wherever employee notices are usually posted.

If there is more than one business establishment, a separate summary must be posted in each physical location that is expected to be in operation for one year or longer.

More information on Log 300 filing and posting requirements is available on HRCalifornia. Not sure if these requirements apply to you? Check out this free Log 300 wizard from HRCalifornia's Forms & Tools section to find out.

Please visit CalChamber's website for complete details on the Form 300 and Form 300A.
