OSHA Coverage and Requirements
Who Needs to Comply with OSHA Recordkeeping?
Most private sector employers, and state and local government agencies are required under Code 29 of Federal Regulation Part 1904 to maintain records on OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and 301. In addition, these entities must report work-related fatalities within 8 hours, and hospitalizations, amputations, or loss of an eye within 24 hours. California OSHA and other State-Plan States might have even more stringent reporting requirements.
The Importance of OSHA Forms
Navigating the OSHA Forms: 300, 300A, and 301

• Form 300: A standardized log for recording work-related injuries and illnesses, including details like employee name, event location, and injury classification.
• Form 300A: A summary of Form 300, providing an overview of the injuries and illnesses recorded over the year.
• Form 301: Known as the Injury and Illness Incident Report, this form is vital for detailed reporting post-incident.
These forms are not just bureaucratic paperwork; they play a crucial role in analyzing safety trends and developing preventive measures.
The Role of Accurate Record-Keeping

Why Accurate OSHA Record-Keeping is Essential

Accurate record-keeping is a priority for OSHA and should be for every organization. It's crucial for identifying workplace hazards and implementing corrective actions. Misinterpretation or errors in tracking can lead to significant workplace safety issues.
