Which OSHA form is used to record work-related injuries and illnesses that result in days away from work, restricted work, or job transfer?

Correct Answer

C) Form 301

OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) is used to record details of individual work-related injuries and illnesses. Form 300 is the log summary, and Form 300A is the annual summary.

Answer Options
A
Form 300
B
Form 300A
C
Form 301
D
Form 302

Why This Is the Correct Answer

OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) is specifically designed to capture detailed information about individual workplace incidents that result in days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfer. This form serves as the comprehensive incident report that documents the specifics of each recordable injury or illness. It requires detailed information about the injured employee, the incident circumstances, and the resulting work restrictions or time away from work.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Form 300

Form 300 is the OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, which serves as a running log or summary of all recordable incidents throughout the year, but it doesn't provide the detailed incident-specific information required for individual cases

Option B: Form 300A

Form 300A is the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, which is an annual summary document that must be posted in the workplace from February 1 to April 30, but it doesn't record individual incident details

Option D: Form 302

Form 302 does not exist as a standard OSHA recordkeeping form in the injury and illness documentation system

Memory Technique

Think '301 = 3-0-1 details for ONE incident' - Form 301 captures all the details for one specific incident, while 300 is the general log and 300A is the annual summary

Reference Hint

OSHA Construction Standards 29 CFR 1926, Subpart C - General Safety and Health Provisions, or OSHA Recordkeeping Requirements 29 CFR 1904
