Philadelphia,
Philadelphia (PRWEB) December 9, 2008 -- TRA (www.industrysafe.com) is pleased
to announce a free guidance document on using IndustrySafe Safety Management
Software to complete OSHA logs. IndustrySafe Safety Management Software
provides organizations with web-based safety data management tools including
incident tracking, OSHA recordkeeping, and OSHA logs, inspections, training
tracking, hazards, behavioral based safety, claims, corrective actions and
more.
TRA recognizes that the annual completion of Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) logs for almost all organizations in the United
States can be a regulatory and compliance burden. An OSHA log (or rather
several OSHA logs known as the 300, 301, and 300A) is used to report
work-related employee injuries and illnesses (and is required for most United
States organizations with more than 10 employees). The OSHA 300A log is
required to be available for employee viewing from February 1st to April 30th
for incidents occurring with the previous year. The OSHA logs include
information about the employee injuries including the number of days away from
work as well as the number of days for which an employee had restricted or
transferred duty due to the injury and illness. IndustrySafe Safety Management
Software reduces this burden by automatically completing the OSHA logs for the
organizations using the system.
While IndustrySafe is an easy to use system
that allows for easy entry of incidents, including those incidents that are
OSHA reportable, TRA recognized that its clients (and potential) clients are
continually trying to do more with less. End of the Year reporting of
environmental health and safety statistics can be time consuming and stressful.
"This easy to use guidance document highlights the key features of OSHA
reporting that are available with the IndustrySafe system" explains, Clare
Epstein, Vice President of Information Technology for TRA. She continues,
"While OSHA reporting appears to be relatively straight forward; for
organizations with multiple locations and multiple OSHA reportable injuries,
there are nuances to the OSHA reporting that IndustrySafe handles appropriately
and we wanted one easy-to-use client friendly guidance document to highlight
those nuances."
IndustrySafe Safety Software also allows for the automatic
calculation of Total Case Incident Rates (TCIR) and Days Away Restricted
Transfer Rate (DART). TCIR and DART rates are used by organizations to compare
their injury and illness rates over time and to organizations in similar
industries. "The use of IndustrySafe to calculate TCIR and DART rates is a time
saving feature that our clients identify as very valuable", states Gabriel
Tompkins, TRA's Project Manager. The IndustrySafe OSHA guidance document also
provides detail on the IndustrySafe calculation of DART and TCIR rates.
The
guidance document is available free for all clients and potential clients and
is available on the IndustrySafe website at

free webinars available to anyone interesting in learning how IndustrySafe
Safety Software can assist with OSHA log reporting. Interested individuals can
