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.
