Recordkeeping Summaries and Employee Involvement practice questions for the ASP exam

A company's written injury reporting procedure requires employees to report any injury within one hour of the shift ending, and the company awards a monthly bonus to crews with no reported injuries. Several employees say they avoid reporting minor injuries because they fear losing the bonus. Under the recordkeeping employee-involvement requirements, how should this procedure be judged?

1. A.It is reasonable, because only the one-hour reporting time limit affects compliance
2. B.It is reasonable as long as employees were informed of how to report
3. C.It is not reasonable if it would deter or discourage a reasonable employee from accurately reporting an injury or illness
4. D.It is reasonable, because the employer established a written procedure

On January 30, a safety manager posted the certified OSHA 300A summary on the break-room bulletin board, where company notices are customarily posted. On April 15, during a walkthrough, she finds that several flyers for a company picnic and a blood drive have been pinned over most of the summary. What action is required?

1. A.Take the summary down and keep it in the safety office, available to employees on request
2. B.Pin a second copy on top of the flyers, since the original has already been posted long enough
3. C.No action is needed, because the summary was already displayed for more than two months
4. D.Remove the flyers so the summary is fully visible, and keep it posted in that location through April 30
