Most ManPower Compliance Services clients have been using the electronic OSHA 300 injury log form at www.manpowercomplianceservices.com. The email following this one will contain an attachment that has all the recordable injuries that occurred in 2016. If the form is inaccurate you can respond via email or FAX (626-602-9209). Note that first aid claims are not included on the form. For additional guidance on first aid vs. not-first aid claims more information is available here: https://manpowercomplianceservices.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/first-aid-vs-not-first-aid/
Note that most dealerships are not required to submit these forms electronically. The exceptions are dealerships that have more than 249 employees or those who have been specifically identified as High Hazard Employers.

The prohibition on smoking applies to all enclosed places of employment that are structural parts of the building(s) including covered parking lots, lobbies, lounges, waiting areas, elevators, stairwells and restrooms.
