In Florida, which OSHA form must be posted in a conspicuous location from February 1 to April 30 each year?
Correct Answer
D) Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses)
OSHA Form 300A (Summary) must be posted annually from February 1 through April 30, providing employees with a summary of the previous year's workplace injuries and illnesses.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) is specifically required to be posted in a conspicuous location where employees can see it from February 1 through April 30 each year. This form provides a summary of the previous year's workplace injuries and illnesses, allowing employees to review their workplace safety record. The posting requirement is mandated by OSHA regulations and applies to all covered employers who are required to keep injury and illness records.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Form 174 (Material Safety Data Sheet)
Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) is the detailed log that must be maintained throughout the year, but it is not required to be posted publicly. It contains detailed information about each incident and is kept for record-keeping purposes.
Option B: Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses)
Form 174 is not a valid OSHA form number. Material Safety Data Sheets (now called Safety Data Sheets or SDS) have different posting and availability requirements but are not related to the annual injury and illness summary posting requirement.
Option C: Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report)
Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) is used to record details about individual workplace injuries and illnesses but is not required to be posted. This form contains detailed information about specific incidents and is maintained in company records.
Memory Technique
Remember '300A for Feb-April' - the 'A' stands for both 'April' (end month) and 'Annual summary.' Also think 'Summary for Spring' since the posting period covers late winter through early spring.

OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1904 - Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, specifically section 1904.32 regarding annual summary posting requirements
