Question

Module 2 Federal Agencies & Safety

This assignment is in four parts.

Part 1: Briefly explain basic recordkeeping requirements and discuss the importance of recordkeeping to employer and OSHA, and explain the use of OSHA forms 300, 300a, and 301.

Part 2: Describe a workers' compensation situation you have been involved in or are knowledgeable about (search the internet for an incident if you don’t have firsthand experience). Given what you have learned in this module, discuss how workers' compensation laws/requirements were applied to the scenario. Were they appropriately applied? What went right or wrong in the situation? How could the system or the application of the system be improved in your opinion?

Part 3: Review the websites offering safety statistic information. Notice the charts and graphs used to measure data in the aviation and non-aviation fields. You will need to review these sites for the data thoroughly. In your post, identify and discuss methods used in measuring and analyzing aviation and non-aviation safety statistics. Do you think the method is accurate? Could it be improved? Why or why not?
