Attendance Rosters

As we learned before, if your training or safety meeting presents general information related to safety it's most likely considered safety "instruction."

Sample attendance roster. Good enough for general instruction, but not OJT of hazardous procedures or practices.

Since we do not need to evaluate employee performance to determine the ability to perform hazardous tasks or procedures, it may be perfectly fine to use a standard attendance roster to document safety instruction.

Make sure documentation of general safety instruction is in writing because, as you may have heard, as far as OSHA is concerned, if it isn't in writing, it didn't get done.

A written attendance roster may include the following information:

  • date
  • subject
  • names attendees
  • other identifying information
