OSHA 300 Log Reminders

Hi!  Just some quick reminders about your OSHA 300 logs for 2023:

 

  1. Complete your OSHA 300 and 300a for 2023 before February 1st posting deadline. (This applies if you had more than 10 employees.)


  2. If you had more than 100 employees in 2023 and are considered a high hazard industry, you must submit your 300 information electronically at www.osha.gov. Here is a helpful OSHA fact sheet on this topic: OSHA FACT SHEET


  3. Post the previous years’ 300a (summary) at each project from February 1st  to April 30th. (OSHA inspects and enforces this)

  4. Keep a separate log for “first aid” treated injuries that are not considered “medical treatment” (aka recordable).  Do not put first-aid-treated injuries on 300 logs.  Check out this link for more information: OSHA First Aid Definition.

  5. Employers must report any worker fatality within 8 hours and any amputation, loss of an eye, or hospitalization of a worker within 24 hours.
