AGC Georgia along with our sponsors will bring in OSHA representatives from the Atlanta East
and Savannah offices to inform members of the OSHA changes in this complimentary course. Under the OSHA
Recordkeeping regulation, covered employers are required to prepare and maintain records of serious
occupational injuries and illnesses using the OSHA 300 log. This information is important for employers, workers,
and OSHA in evaluating the safety of a workplace, understanding industry hazards, and implement worker
protections to reduce and eliminate hazards. On September 11, 2014, OSHA announced changes to the list of
industries that are exempt from the requirement to routinely keep OSHA injury and illness records, and to the
list of severe work-related injuries and illnesses which all covered employers must report to OSHA. These new
requirements will go into effect on January 1, 2015 for workplaces under Federal OSHA jurisdiction.
