For non-occupational injuries and illnesses, the core OSHA recordkeeping rule is that only work-related cases belong on the OSHA 300 Log, 300A Summary, and 301 Incident Report. A non-work-related injury or illness is therefore generally not OSHA-recordable, even if the employee receives medical treatment or files a

Employers should treat employee cell phone and mobile device use as a workplace safety control issue, not just a productivity issue. The core safety principle is that workers must maintain full attention on the task and surrounding hazards; mobile device use that diverts attention can contribute to struck-by incidents
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are core hazard communication documents. They summarize a product’s hazards, safe handling precautions, exposure controls, emergency response, and other regulatory information so workers and employers can identify risks and protect against them. Under WHMIS, hazardous products used, handled

Safe hoisting and lifting of roof trusses requires a site-specific lift and erection plan developed before work begins. The plan should identify the crane location, access/egress, ground bearing capacity, power-line clearances, landing/setting sequence, communication methods, exclusion zones, weather limits
During a site attendance or site visit, the key safety objective is to confirm that hazards have been identified, risks assessed, and effective controls implemented before and during the work. A strong site visit should test whether the work is planned, supervised, communicated, and carried out in compliance with the

EM 385-1-1 is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual. In practice, it functions as a comprehensive construction and operational safety manual for Corps activities and operations, and it is widely treated as a governing safety document on USACE work. OSHA has recognized EM-385-1-1 by
Employers should manage occupational heat stress through a written heat illness prevention program that covers hazard identification, responsibilities, training, acclimatization, hydration, monitoring, first aid, and emergency response. Enforcement agencies evaluate these programs case by case, and recognized feasible
For OSHA 1926 construction employers, there is currently no single federal OSHA standard in 29 CFR 1926 that comprehensively prescribes heat stress program elements such as exact trigger temperatures, mandatory water quantities, fixed rest-break schedules, or shade formulas. In construction, OSHA typically addresses
At the federal OSHA level, there is currently no single nationwide OSHA standard dedicated specifically to occupational heat stress for most workplaces. However, employers still have a duty to protect workers from recognized heat hazards under OSHA’s general enforcement framework, and heat hazards are addressed through
Emergency drill evaluation and after-action review should be built around whether the emergency plan is documented, current, understood by employees, and proven functional through drills. A strong evaluation process verifies that the plan has management authority, is distributed to those who need it, is based on
Emergency drill evaluation should measure whether the exercise demonstrated that the emergency plan is workable, roles are understood, hazards are recognized quickly, and responders can protect workers without creating additional risk. At minimum, the evaluation criteria should align with the written emergency response
Hiking commonly involves environmental, terrain, and personal health hazards. Key risks include uneven or steep ground, wet or icy surfaces, sudden weather changes, heat or cold stress, dehydration, getting lost, and encounters with insects, snakes, or other wildlife.
