2022 Worker Memorial Day

Posted on by

Every year the nation recognizes Workers Memorial Day. Nationally, April 28th is the day we pay our respects to those who lost their lives on the job, and recognize the impact these tragedies have on the family members, co-workers, and communities. More than 4,700 workers suffered fatal injuries on the job in 2020 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, 53 worker fatalities were recorded in Washington State in 2021.

This year there are live and virtual events taking place throughout the country to remember those that have lost their lives on the jobsite. Washington State is providing its Workers Memorial Day Ceremony virtually on Wednesday, April 27th at 11:30 a.m. PT. The event page can be accessed by clicking here.

2022 OSHA 300A Posting and Reporting

Posted on by

Welcome to 2022! Did you know that it’s time again to prepare, certify and post your OSHA 300A Annual Summary of workplace injuries and illnesses in your workplace? It’s required for all U.S. employers, except those with ten or fewer employees or those whose NAICS code is in the set of low-hazard industries that are exempt from OSHA’s injury and illness recordkeeping requirements. If employers in State Plan states (e.g. Washington) have questions about their obligation to submit injury and illness information, please contact your State Plan office.

Your workplace Annual Summary must be posted from February 1st to April 30th. Electronic reporting is also due by March 2nd for employers with 20 or more employees.
