The 300 log, 300A summary, and 301 incident report together are one of OSHA's fastest paperwork requirements — and one of the top citation sources every year.
Death, days away from work, restricted work, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or diagnosis of a significant injury or illness. If any applies, the case is recordable.
February 1 through April 30 every year. Executive-certified. Posted in a conspicuous location. Retained for five years.
Misclassifying first aid vs medical treatment, missing 300A posting, no executive certification, 301 forms not completed within 7 days, restricted-work days miscounted.
