OSHA recordkeeping tutorial, NSC MSDs report and more
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Employers with more than 10 employees, who are not listed as an exempt industry, are required to post their 2023 OSHA Form 300A in their workplace from February 1 to April 30. To help employers comply, OSHA offers a tutorial video on completing the required recordkeeping forms.
The National Safety Council (NSC)
In 2022, the NSC launched the MSD Pledge, a global effort that many employers joined to reduce workplace MSDs. To measure progress and provide insight, the agency released the first annual MSD Solutions Index. Notable trends were that no organization earned a perfect score, larger organizations were more effective at managing MSD risk and almost 85% of employers claimed that psychosocial factors like mental health and fatigue contribute to MSDs at work.
The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP)
