OSHA Recording (USA)

Purpose

In the U.S. companies are required to record and, if necessary, report any work-related injuries and illnesses for each establishment. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) defines which events are to be recorded and how they are to be recorded. To fulfill the legal requirements, companies in the U.S. must create the following reports:

Report

Use

OSHA 301

Injury and Illness Incident Report

Logging of individual work-related injuries and illnesses

OSHA 300

Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

Recording of work-related injuries and illnesses per year

OSHA 300A

Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

Evaluation and summary of the entries in OSHA 300 to be published in the following calendar year

Prerequisites

So that you can use the process in your company, you must make the necessary system settings for period-based data determination and create phrases with predefined phrase codes for the illnesses. For more information, see Configure OSHA Recording in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Industrial Hygiene and Safety.
