Many employers have questions regarding the Wyoming OSHA 300 form. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that employers post the 300A form from February 1 to April 30, 2007.

The purpose of the OSHA 300 log is to review accidents that occurred in 2006, with an emphasis on preventing future problems. Recognize the value of illness prevention in reducing and preventing job-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. It’s important for employers to communicate to employees with an OSHA Safety Communication poster that meets all of OSHA’s mandatory posting requirements. Displaying the mandated poster may protect the company from fines. It is also likely to protect employees from job-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.

Each employer is required to display posters on safety and health including the OSHA 300 poster, and the OSHA- It’s the Law poster. In 24 states, an OSHA-approved state agency replaces OSHA. In those states, employers should display a state poster instead of (or in addition to) the OSHA poster.

According to OSHA, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees, including displaying an OSHA –It’s the Law Poster. The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, is charged with assuring the safety and health of America’s workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health.

Many employers are unaware that failure to prominently display the OSHA 300 poster and the 2007 OSHA poster– Job Safety and Health Protection in a work area is a serious OSHA violation. Employers who fail to meet state and federal mandatory posting standards can be cited and fined by OSHA.

A key factor in increasing safety awareness is complying with the mandatory OSHA 300 log poster standards. According to an OSHA booklet, “Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA’s role is to assure the safety and health of America’s workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.
