Question:
The manager discovers that a former employee who voluntarily separated from the company 5 years ago had a recordable injury. Is it recordable?
Answer:
YES. During the five-year storage period, you must update your stored OSHA 300 Logs to include newly discovered recordable injuries or illnesses and to show any changes that have occurred in the classification of previously recorded injuries and illnesses.
