• A. OSHA 300
• B. OSHA 100
• C. OSHA 200
• D. OSHA 350

Answer: (A)

OSHA 300, the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, is the official record used to document work-related injuries and illnesses. Each incident that meets OSHA’s criteria is entered into the log with key details such as the date, where it happened, the employee’s job title, a description of what occurred, the part of the body affected, and the type of injury or illness. This creates a running record for the year that helps safety professionals spot patterns and target hazard controls. The log is kept for five years after the end of the year and serves as the data source for the annual 300A summary. Related forms include the 301 Injury and Illness Incident Report for the specifics of each incident and the 300A, which summarizes the year’s data.
