Which OSHA form is used to report individual work-related injury or illness cases in detail?
Correct Answer
C) Form 301
OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) is used to record details about individual work-related injuries and illnesses. Form 300 is the log summary, and Form 300A is the annual summary.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) is specifically designed to capture detailed information about individual workplace injuries and illnesses. This form requires comprehensive documentation including the employee's personal information, details about the incident, the nature of the injury or illness, and the circumstances surrounding the event. It serves as the detailed incident report that provides the narrative and specifics that support the entries made in the OSHA 300 Log. Form 301 must be completed within seven calendar days of receiving information that a recordable injury or illness has occurred.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Form 300
Form 300A is the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, which is an annual summary posted for employee viewing and contains totals and rates, not individual incident details.
Option B: Form 302
Form 302 does not exist as a standard OSHA recordkeeping form in the current OSHA recordkeeping system.
Memory Technique
Think '301 = 3-0-1 Details' - the '1' represents ONE individual incident requiring detailed documentation, 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
