The city's OSHA 300 logs are complete, yet field-crew injury rates have not fallen. Safety staff treat recordkeeping as the safety strategy. How should the CHRO evaluate the program?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A perfect logbook with the same number of hurt crews is like a fire-exit diagram that nobody ever uses. OSHA records prove the city filed the paperwork, not that the work got safer. Strategy is judged by fewer injuries, with the logs as the compliance receipts.
Full Explanation
Evaluating employee safety strategy at SPHR depth means looking at outcomes plus compliance, not logs alone. OSHA recordkeeping is a legal requirement and a data source; it is not evidence that field-crew risk has been reduced. Abandoning the logs or converting safety into a purely legal file review would drop both compliance and prevention. The CHRO should keep the records and redirect the strategy toward controls that actually cut injuries.
