Documentation lies at the heart of an OSHA inspection. From records of routine equipment inspections to incident reports to hazard communications, employers need to know what’s important to keep, and how to easily access it all when that material is requested.

In their article “Know OSHA’s Document Creation, Retention Requirements,” the Society for Human Resource Management gives an in-depth review of some commonly-requested documentation for general industry, including:

• Lockout/Tagout training records and regular inspection reports
• Noise exposure measurements
• PPE training records
• HazCom plans
• OSHA 300 log
