This new year, discover how to improve your OSHA recordkeeping with two free classes Jan. 16 or Jan. 23 by the Center for Risk Management at the Gulf Coast Safety Institute.

Through case studies and a hands-on workshop, you will explore the requirements for recording injuries and illnesses on your OSHA Log 300.  The class will also include updates on the new reporting rules effective Jan. 1, 2015.

Participants may attend the one-day, eight-hour class either Jan. 16 or Jan. 23
