You are advising three fellow electrical contractors about their OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping practices. Review each contractor's approach and determine which one has the most compliant recordkeeping strategy.
Contractor A has 8 employees year-round but regularly hires 4 temporary workers for large commercial projects, bringing total headcount above 10 for several months each year. He says, 'My permanent staff is only 8, so I'm exempt from OSHA recordkeeping no matter how many temps I bring on.'
Contractor B has 14 employees. She keeps her OSHA Form 300 log updated throughout the year, makes it available when employees or OSHA request access, and posts her Form 300A summary in the break room every year from February 1 through April 30.
Contractor C has 14 employees. He maintains his OSHA Form 300 log but keeps it locked in his office filing cabinet. He posts his Form 300A summary each year starting March 1 so it doesn't interfere with his busy winter billing cycle, and takes it down June 1.
