To maintain compliance with local, state, and federal regulations in Illinois, several tasks should be performed annually. Here's a breakdown:

• Review and Correct OSHA 300 Log: At the end of each calendar year, the OSHA 300 Log must be reviewed to ensure all entries are complete and accurate, and any identified deficiencies should be corrected [1].
• Create Annual Summary: An annual summary of injuries and illnesses recorded on the OSHA 300 Log must be created [1].
• Certify the Summary: A company executive must certify the annual summary, confirming they have examined the OSHA 300 Log and reasonably believe the summary is correct and complete 1, 6.
• Post the Annual Summary: The annual summary must be posted no later than February 1 of the year following the year covered by the records, and it must remain posted until April 30 [2].
• Record Retention: The OSHA 300 Log, privacy case list (if applicable), annual summary, and OSHA 301 Incident Report forms must be saved for five years following the end of the calendar year that these records cover [2].
• Update OSHA 300 Log: During the five-year storage period, the stored OSHA 300 Logs must be updated to include newly discovered recordable injuries or illnesses and to show any changes in the classification of previously recorded injuries and illnesses [2].
• Facility Inspections: Facilities must be inspected upon initial installation or registration, or at the time of alteration or repair before issuing an operating certificate, and a minimum of one time per year thereafter, before renewing an operating certificate 7, 15.

In addition to these annual tasks, remember that employers must provide employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm and comply with occupational safety and health standards [3].
