OSHA Logs Are Due: Don't Make These 5 Costly Mistakes
We're back for Season 3!
Dr. Martin and James kick off 2026 with the topic on every safety pro's mind: OSHA 300 logs are due, and these 5 pitfalls could cost you. From first aid confusion to a $2,500 electronic filing mistake, they break down the recordkeeping traps that catch even experienced safety pros off guard.
INSIDE THE EPISODE:
- First aid confusion - if it's not on OSHA's official list in 1904, it's not first aid (including red light therapy)
- The signature slip-up - company owners must sign OSHA logs, not safety professionals. Know what you're certifying.
- Electronic reporting requirements - companies with 250+ employees must file electronically. Missing the deadline costs $2,500 per violation with no grace period.
- Why good incident records matter - detailed case management makes the difference between accurate logs and over/under-reporting.
- What executives need to know - sit down with leadership and explain what's on the logs, why incidents occurred, and what's being done to prevent them.
