    E51 Mastering OSHA logs: avoid these 10 common mistakes

    Keywords OSHA logs, safety management, common mistakes, workplace safety, OSHA compliance, safety training, safety audits, safety coaching, accident reporting, safety management system Summary In this episode, David Sawyer discusses the ten most common mistakes made by safety managers when filling out OSHA logs, particularly the OSHA 300A summary. He emphasizes the importance of accurate reporting, timely entries, and understanding the nuances of OSHA regulations. The conversation also highlights the significance of proper documentation, the role of temporary workers, and the need for a proactive safety management system. David introduces his coaching program aimed at helping new safety managers become OSHA ready in just 90 days. Takeaways One small mistake could cost your company thousands. Counting the right days is crucial for accurate reporting. First aid classification is essential to understand for OSHA logs. Timely entries on the OSHA log are required within seven days. Temporary workers' accidents must be logged if supervised. Privacy cases should not include employee names on the log. Labor hours must reflect the entire facility's workforce. Each facility needs its own OSHA log. Only one box should be checked under classification on the log. A proactive safety management system is key to success.
