300 -OSHA Log |
Workers and union
representatives have a right to request a copy of the employer’s OSHA
recordkeeping documents of work-related injuries and illnesses. This record
is known as the OSHA 300 Log, and is kept on a federal form.
What is Medical Treatment?
Medical treatment includes managing and caring for a
patient for the purpose of combating disease or disorder. The following are not
considered medical treatments and are NOT recordable:
How do you count the number of days of restricted work activity or the number of days away from work?
Begin counting days from the day after the incident occurs. If a single injury or illness involved both days away from work and days of restricted work activity, enter the total number of days for each. You may stop counting days of restricted work activity or days away from work once the total of either or the combination of both reaches 180 days.
Calculating Injury and Illness Incidence
An incidence rate is the number of recordable injuries and illnesses occurring among a given number of full- time workers ( usually 100 full-time workers) over a given period of time ( usually one year) . To evaluate your firm ’s injury and illness experience over time or to compare your firm ’s experience with that of your industry as a whole, you need to compute your incidence rate. Because a specific number of workers and a specific period of time are involved, these rates can help you identify problems in your workplace and/ or progress you may have made in preventing work-related injuries and illnesses.
The OSHA 300A Summary must be completed and posted, where employees may
easily see it, from February 1st through April 30th. Upon employee request,
you have until the end of the next business day to provide copies of the
OSHA Forms 300 Log, 300A Summary, and his or her individual OSHA 301
Incident Report.
If a case is limited to First Aid treatment and there are no days away from
work, job transfer, or job restriction, do not include the case on your OSHA
300 Log. The case is not OSHA recordable, even if the First Aid treatment is
administered at a health clinic, emergency room, hospital, or other medical
treatment facility
Work-relatedness is presumed for injuries and illnesses occurring in the
work environment. Assume the injury or illness is recordable unless it is
specifically addressed in the exceptions. If an injury or illness falls into
one of the exceptions listed below, it is not work-related and it is not
recordable. Work related exceptions include:
Present as a member of the
general public.
Symptoms arise in workplace but are solely due to non-work related event or
exposure.
Voluntary participation in a wellness program. • Eating, drinking, or
preparing food or drink for personal consumption.
Personal tasks outside assigned working hours.
Personal grooming, self-medication for non-work-related conditions, or
intentionally self-inflicted injuries.
Motor vehicle accident occurring in a parking lot or access road during a
normal commute to or from work.
Common cold or flu.
Mental illness, unless employee voluntarily provides a medical opinion from a Physician or other Licensed Health Care Professional (PLHCP) that affirms the mental illness is work-related.
