and accurate, and correct any deficiencies identified;
    (2) Create an annual summary of injuries and illnesses recorded on 
the OSHA 300 Log;
    (3) Certify the summary; and
    (4) Post the annual summary.
    (b) Implementation--(1) How extensively do I have to review the OSHA 
300 Log entries at the end of the year? You must review the entries as 
extensively as necessary to make sure that they are complete and 
correct.
    (2) How do I complete the annual summary? You must:
    (i) Total the columns on the OSHA 300 Log (if you had no recordable 
cases, enter zeros for each column total); and
    (ii) Enter the calendar year covered, the company's name, 
establishment name, establishment address, annual average number of 
employees covered by the OSHA 300 Log, and the total hours worked by all 
employees covered by the OSHA 300 Log.
    (iii) If you are using an equivalent form other than the OSHA 300-A 
summary form, as permitted under Sec.  1904.6(b)(4), the summary you use 
must also include the employee access and employer penalty statements 
found on the OSHA 300-A Summary form.
    (3) How do I certify the annual summary? A company executive must 
certify that he or she has examined the OSHA 300 Log and that he or she 
reasonably believes, based on his or her knowledge of the process by 
which the information was recorded, that the annual summary is correct 
and complete.
    (4) Who is considered a company executive? The company executive who 
certifies the log must be one of the following persons:
    (i) An owner of the company (only if the company is a sole 
proprietorship or partnership);
    (ii) An officer of the corporation;
    (iii) The highest ranking company official working at the 
establishment; or
    (iv) The immediate supervisor of the highest ranking company 
official working at the establishment.
    (5) How do I post the annual summary? You must post a copy of the 
annual summary in each establishment in a conspicuous place or places 
where notices to employees are customarily posted. You must ensure that 
the posted annual summary is not altered, defaced or covered by other 
material.
    (6) When do I have to post the annual summary? You must post the 
summary no later than February 1 of the year following the year covered 
by the records and keep the posting in place until April 30.
