Under OSHA regulations, which of the following work-related injuries must be recorded on Form 300?
Correct Answer
B) Medical treatment beyond first aid
OSHA requires recording work-related injuries that result in medical treatment beyond first aid, days away from work, restricted work, or job transfer. First aid treatment alone does not require recording on Form 300.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) requires recording when work-related injuries result in medical treatment beyond first aid. This includes prescription medications, sutures, physical therapy, or any treatment that goes beyond basic first aid measures. The regulation specifically distinguishes between first aid (which is not recordable) and medical treatment (which is recordable). Days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfers also trigger recording requirements.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: First aid treatment only
First aid treatment alone does not meet OSHA's threshold for recordability on Form 300. OSHA defines first aid as temporary treatment of minor injuries like cleaning wounds, applying bandages, using non-prescription medications, or applying hot/cold therapy. These incidents are specifically excluded from recording requirements.
Option C: Near miss incidents with no injury
Near miss incidents with no actual injury are not required to be recorded on Form 300. While OSHA encourages tracking near misses for safety improvement purposes, Form 300 is specifically for recording actual work-related injuries and illnesses that meet the recordability criteria.
Option D: Employee complaints without medical treatment
Employee complaints without medical treatment do not meet OSHA's recording criteria for Form 300. There must be an actual work-related injury or illness that results in medical treatment beyond first aid, days away from work, restricted work, or job transfer to be recordable.
Memory Technique
Use the acronym 'MART' - Medical treatment, Away from work, Restricted work, Transfer to another job. Any of these triggers Form 300 recording requirements.
