Your Crew Doesn't Have Email. Your Safety Software Demands It.
OSHA never asks whether a worker has an inbox. Most safety platforms do. The workaround crews reach for, one shared login for the whole trailer, destroys the one thing the records were supposed to prove: who did what.
What Happens to Your OSHA Records When You Cancel Your Safety Software?
Your 300 Log obligation runs five years past the calendar year it covers. A typical SaaS retention window runs 30 to 90 days past your last invoice. Nobody connects those two numbers until an inspector asks for a log that now lives in a closed account.

Who actually holds a right to your records, what to send instead, and the redaction the rule makes mandatory.
