Temps on OSHA 300A?

CAHR

In completing the section "total hours worked by all employees" - does that INCLUDE hours worked by "temps" or is it just our actual employees? Help!

Since temp injuries are included on your log, I would say yes. But, logic is not the gvt's forte. Can't site anything specific that says yes.

We include all temp/staffing hours in our 300A report for three basic reasons:

1. We paid their wages for hours worked in our plant.

2. We are reguired to report their injuries, thus it only makes sense that we have to report their time to make the accident rates meaningful.

3. It helps to have as many hours as possible on the form in order to keep your accident rate numbers as low as possible.

Makes sense to me. I would feel very comfortable presenting this logic to any OSHA inspector.

I agree with "ritamcguire"....I follow the same logic.

Temps must be included if you provide the supervision and control of their work. So unless someone from the temp agency actually supervises and directs thier work, including determining the means and methods of how the work is performed, you are required to include the temps on your 300 log.
