First, assign responsibility. Make it clear who is responsible
for inspections, recordkeeping, and keeping these items organized. Provide proper training to ensure all documentation and inspections are completed accurately, thoroughly, and in a timely manner. Assigning specific duties to well-trained, trustworthy employees will help ensure your recordkeeping is in top shape. Second, make sure that all documents are kept in a designated place. This will help you easily find documents when needed and keep different types of documentation separate. As we mentioned, binders are a great system. When using the binder system for storm water permitting, you know that all your applicable inspections, documentation, and forms are located in one central place. This is especially helpful in the case of a regulatory inspection.
Showing You Care An organized recordkeeping system is one great way to
instantly impress regulators. It shows that your care about your business and that you are committed to compliance. A complete, organized, and user-friendly recordkeeping system can look many different ways. Different systems work for different people; keep this in mind as you work on improving systems at your facility.
expected at home would not warrant hazardous labeling. However, any further use would expose the employee to significantly greater amounts of hazardous substances, and the need for the hazard communication information available through the safety data sheet is justified. What about the employees? All employees should be informed of all present hazardous substances and the location of safety data sheets (SDSs) for each chem- ical present on the site. Employees must be trained on methods to identify a release of a hazardous substance, measures they can take to protect themselves, and the details of the hazard communication program. We hope this article helps you get OSHA safe! As always, please do not hesitate to contact VET at (812) 822-0400 with any questions or concerns.
