OSHA 300 Log:
The OSHA 300 log is a form used by all employers, as applicable, to record employee injuries and illnesses. The document must be located in a place visible to all employees and where business or operations are conducted. The form has three main sections:
Identification: contains the name, case number, and job title
Description: provides a description of where the incident happened, along with the date and injury location
Classification: contains information on the type of injury, days away from work and how many days the work will be restricted
As the second step in the OSHA 300 log process, you will use each completed OSHA 301 Form to complete the log. At the end of the year, the log information will be transferred to an OSHA 300A Form.
