Demystify: 

No, they cannot. As I recall, there was a court decision (OSHA v. Westvaco?) that held that OSHA cannot require any documentation not specifically asked for by a reg. The decision had to do with the Process Safety Management standard, which has specific documentation requirements, and OSHA tried to cite Westvaco for not having some docs that they weren't required by reg to have. Annoyingly, I cannot find the reference, though. Might have been OSHRC, rather than a court, but I can't find it there either.

Figure on it this way: if it hasn't been through public review and comment (via the Administrative Procedures Act processes), then they'd be free to require different docs of different companies, which is kind of the definition of "arbitrary and capricious."

=EF=BB=BFI found today's Covid tip from OSHA odd. It's a "good idea" to document safety training? OSHA doesn't require this documentation?
