OSHA Recordkeeping and Reporting: OSHA 300 Forms

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a key player in continually assessing and improving policies and procedures to enhance worker safety. Central to this effort is the OSHA 300 log, a crucial form used to document and analyze work-related incidents and injuries. Divided into three sections - Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses), Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses), and Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) - the OSHA 300 log captures essential information for OSHA, employers, employees, and insurers. The form includes details such as internal case numbers, employee names and job titles, date of injury, incident location, and a description of the event. It serves as a valuable tool for preventing future incidents by offering insights into the where, why, and how of workplace injuries and illnesses.
