The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plays a big role in making sure workplaces in the United States are safe and healthy. OSHA Form 300 is a tool they use to keep track of injuries and illnesses that happen at work.
Think of OSHA Form 300 like a journal for work-related injuries and illnesses. It's something employers have to keep to follow OSHA rules. This form helps track and document any incidents where employees get hurt or sick on the job.
OSHA Form 300 helps employers see patterns in workplace injuries and illnesses. By keeping this record, they can spot what's causing problems and figure out how to make things safer for everyone. It's all about making workplaces better and preventing future accidents.
This form has details about the employee who got hurt or sick, what happened, and any treatment they received. Employers fill in things like the date of the incident, the employee's name and job, what part of the body was affected, and how many days the employee had to stay away from work.
Employers have to hold onto OSHA Form 300 records for at least five years after the incidents happened. This way, the info is handy if OSHA ever needs to check or if the company wants to review it for safety improvements.
Companies with more than 10 employees have to keep OSHA Form 300 records. They also need to put up a summary of the previous year's incidents (called OSHA Form 300A) where all employees can see it. Some businesses, especially those with higher rates of incidents, might have more reporting to do.
OSHA Form 300 is a big deal because it helps HR pros and employers keep track of workplace injuries and illnesses. By filling it out accurately and keeping it up to date, companies can follow OSHA rules, focus on keeping employees safe, and make sure workplaces are as healthy as possible. Understanding and taking care of OSHA Form 300 is an important part of HR work.
