OSHA RECORDKEEPING
OSHA requires most employers to maintain a record of certain injuries and illnesses that occur while in the work environment. Keeping accurate injury and illness records is one of the greatest challenges facing employers today due to the complexities of the OSHA recordkeeping standard 29 CFR 1904.
Currently there is a National Emphasis Program (CPL 02-09-08) on injury and illness recordkeeping which has resulted in fines exceeding 1.2 million dollars to employers.

Great article Bill! Really enjoyed the read. Very important stuff for everyone that maintains an OSHA 300 Log to know. Even after 22 years of doing this type of recordkeeping, I even learned a couple of new things from this article.
What the EPA’s Newly Released Clean Air in Buildings Challenge Means for Indoor Air Quality
With the onset of pollen season, what better time to discuss indoor air quality? As defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air quality (IAQ) is the air quality, specifically as it relates to the health and comfort of occupants, within and around buildings and structures. COVID-19 has increased the population’s general awareness and importance of IAQ as well as the transmission of infectious diseases. The EPA recently released a Clean Air in Buildings Challenge as part of the Federal government’s new IAQ initiative, which happens to also be a facet of the National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan.
