Which requirement applies to employers with 11 or more employees?

• A. OSHA Record Keeping
• B. PPE Training
• C. Hazard Communication
• D. Wage Reporting

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the threshold for keeping OSHA injury and illness records. When an employer has 11 or more workers, OSHA recordkeeping requirements kick in, meaning you must maintain and keep the OSHA 300 log (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses), the 301 incident reports, and the 300A annual summary. These records stay on file for several years and the 300A is posted each year to inform workers and help identify safety trends. The other items aren’t tied to this size-based rule: PPE training is required whenever PPE is used, regardless of how many employees; Hazard Communication applies to workplaces handling hazardous chemicals, again not limited by employee count; Wage Reporting is handled under the labor department and is not an OSHA recordkeeping requirement. So the requirement that specifically applies to employers with 11 or more employees is OSHA recordkeeping.
