    2004 OSHA Outlook for Small Business: More Workplace Injuries, New Mandatory Forms PRNewswire
    Workplace safety and labor law experts at G.Neil Corp. advise U.S. small businesses to expect more employee injuries in 2004, and to make sure they are using the legally correct OSHA forms for recording them.

    Smaller firms must be prepared, says Christopher Lindekugel, G.Neil's compliance director, or run the risk of OSHA fines, employee medical bills and workers' compensation costs.

    'When workers are well-trained and know what they're doing, the injury rate is lower because their knowledge and experience reduce the risk of danger,' he explained. 'As the economy grows, there will be more and more people performing unfamiliar jobs, so the risk of accidents and injuries will be much greater.'
