Every employer covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) who has more than 10 employees, except for employers in certain low-hazard industries in the retail, finance, insurance, real estate, and service sectors, must maintain specific records of job related injuries and illnesses, including the OSHA Form 300, which is an injury/illness log, with a separate line entry for each recordable injury or illness. Such events include work related deaths, injuries, and illnesses other than minor injuries requiring only first aid treatment not involving medical treatment, loss of consciousness, restriction of work, or transfer to another job. Every year, the employer must post in a conspicuous location in the workplace the OSHA Form 300A, which consists of a summary of the previous year's work-related injuries and illnesses recorded on the Form 300. Employers must also record on the OSHA Form 301 individual incident reports that provide added detail about each specific recordable injury or illness. Read More.
