List of Essential Occupational Safety and Health Documents

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, certain legal documents are required.

The following documents represent the basic set of records that must be maintained.

However, in addition to these basic documents, additional records may also be required.

For example, when conducting a periodic risk assessment, supplementary documents such as the participant list, qualification records (experience), follow-up actions taken for risk factors identified during previous assessments, and future mitigation plans for new risk factors identified in the current assessment may also be necessary.

The list below summarizes the essential documents required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act and can be used as a helpful reference.
