Presenter's Guide
Brief Presentation on OSHA's New Recordkeeping Rule

The Brief presentation contains a Microsoft PowerPoint® Presentation, a script and handout materials which provide a brief summary of OSHA's new recordkeeping regulation. The objective of this slide presentation is to provide an overview of the new rule. At the end of the training session, the audience should be aware of the regulation and its effective date.

Instructions for Use: This presentation is intended to assist a presenter in providing a brief overview of the new rule to audiences that are affected by the regulation. It does not discuss the rule in detail and does not describe all the requirements or changes in the new regulation. For those audiences requiring a more in-depth presentation on the recordkeeping requirements (e.g., recordkeepers), OSHA is developing a longer program that covers each paragraph of the new rule.

Note: Prior to the presentation, it is suggested that presenters review the latest information on OSHA's recordkeeping page. In addition, presenters should print copies of OSHA's main Recordkeeping page as a handout to inform audience members of the latest information available on the website.

This package contains a PowerPoint presentation, a script and handouts.
  • The PowerPoint presentation requires PowerPoint 2000 or the PowerPoint Viewer.
  • The script is labeled with blue bold typeface. Where appropriate, a reference to the rule is included at the end of the paragraph to assist the presenter in responding to questions. For consistency of the message on recordkeeping, it is recommended that this script be followed. The script shows a copy of the PowerPoint slide. Presenter notes associated with that particular slide are referenced in green.
  • There are three handouts, detailed below, that are recommended for use with this presentation. Each is referred to during the presentation.
Although time requirements vary, this presentation should take approximately twenty minutes.

Required Software: PowerPoint® 2000 or PowerPoint® Viewer

Handouts: Suggested handouts for this presentation include:
  • OSHA Fact Sheet on Recordkeeping.
  • Partially Exempt Industries- Non-Mandatory Appendix A to Subpart B.
  • Most recent OSHA Recordkeeping Page from the OSHA website. (Because recordkeeping information is being updated frequently on the website, presenters should print copies of the main Recordkeeping page shortly before a presentation.)
These materials are intended to be a resource document for presenters and are not a substitute for any of the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or for any regulations or standards issued by the US Department of Labor. It is expected that presenters wishing to use these materials will review the 29 CFR 1904 regulation and all handouts prior to any training session.
