OSHA Recordkeeping & Reporting – 2026 Updates (SSJK01)

Avoid Costly Citations. Get Recordkeeping Right. Stay Audit-Ready.

OSHA recordkeeping errors remain one of the most common—and preventable—sources of citations, enforcement scrutiny, and credibility loss during inspections. This practical, up-to-date session walks participants through OSHA’s injury and illness recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including 2026 updates, interpretations, and enforcement trends.
