Mr. Fred C. Sumner
Safety Manager, Kimmins Contracting Corp.
[Recipient address omitted]
Dear Mr. Sumner:

Thank you for your letter dated July 28, outlining your understanding of the OSHA Log 200 posting requirements for non-fixed construction sites. The information as presented in your letter is correct. Also be aware that during the posting period, employers are required to present or mail a copy of the annual summary to employees who do not report to a fixed worksite. If there are employees who report directly to the non-fixed construction site, and do not report to the dispatch office from which the crew vans depart, a copy of the annual summary must be presented or mailed to those employees.

I hope you find this information helpful. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact us at Area Code (202) 219-6463.

Sincerely,

Bob Whitmore Chief Division of Recordkeeping Requirements
