OSHA Compliance: Recordkeeping Requirements for Laundries
TRSA recently held a webinar titled “OSHA Recordkeeping Requirements: Are You Compliant?” The webinar focused on strategies for commercial laundries to comply with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) recordkeeping logs.
The webinar’s host, Edwin G. Foulke Jr., is a partner in the Atlanta office of Fisher & Phillips LLP, where he serves as co-chair of the firm’s Workplace Safety and Catastrophe Management Practice Group. Prior to joining Fisher & Phillips, Foulke was the assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health. Named by President George W. Bush to head OSHA, Foulke served in that capacity from April 2006 to Nov. 2008.
Foulke tackled the following topics in the webinar:
- What events are required to be reported directly to OSHA under the changed rule
- What injuries and illnesses are recordable and why
- The scope of the first aid exemption and OSHA’s recent limitations
- How to coordinate injury and illness recordkeeping requirements, especially those involving temporary employees
- How to use recordkeeping to improve current safety and health management programs

- What recordkeeping requirements are violated by employers and cited by OSHA
