OSHA 200 Summary - The new rule's requirements for certification by a company executive and a three-month posting period will not apply to the posting of the OSHA 200 Log and Summary for the year 2001.

Retention and Updating Old Forms - Employers still must retain the OSHA records from 2001 and previous years for five (5) years from the end of the year to which they refer. The employer must provide copies of the retained records to authorized government representatives, and to his or her employees and employee representatives, as required by the new rule.
