Safety Matters With Gary Auman
Gary will educate attendees on the new OSHA Electronic Recordkeeping Rule that goes into effect on January 1, 2024. He will provide instruction on the application of this rule to businesses. This will include a discussion of which business will find themselves covered by the rule and what the rule will require of them if they are covered by it. He will spend some time in providing recommendations for businesses that may wish to modify their accident investigation procedures, including how they may need to “fine tune” their existing procedures in light of this new rule. He will also discuss important decisions a contractor may face in how they investigate an accident, the decisions they make as they conduct their investigation and the importance of seeking expertise to ensure that they in full compliance with the new rule and with “good business.” Finally, Gary will address important questions as to decisions that will need to be made any time (including following an accident) OSHA citations issue following an inspection and the potential effects of making an incorrect decision.
