Here is the OSHA Forms Packet from Federal OSHA 

The Forms Packet booklet includes the forms needed for maintaining occupational injury and illness records. Many, but not all, employers must complete the OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping forms.  Your company may need to submit your information online through the Injury Tracking Application  (ITA).   Click on that link for help determining if your establishment is required to electronically submit 300A and 300/301 data through the ITA.

Most State Plans have identical requirements for private sector (non-state or local government) employers to submit 300A and 300/301 data to Federal OSHA through the ITA. The Employers in State Plan States should check with their State Plan to see if the exemptions below apply. Employers with 10 or fewer employees throughout the previous calendar year do not need to complete these forms. In addition to the small employer exemption, there is an exemption for establishments classified in certain industries. A complete list of exempt industries can be found on the OSHA web page at https:// www.osha.gov/recordkeeping. Establishments normally exempt from keeping the OSHA forms must complete the forms if they are informed in writing to do so by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or OSHA. All employers, including those partially exempted by reason of company size or industry classification, must report to OSHA any workplace incident that results in a fatality, in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye. You can report to OSHA by calling OSHA's free and confidential number at 1-800-321- OSHA (6742); calling your closest Area Office during normal business hours; or by using the online reporting form at https://www.osha.gov/pls/ser/serform.html. Many employers are required to electronically submit information from their Form 300A Summary to OSHA. To see if your establishment is required to submit the information, visit https://www.osha.gov/injuryreporting/index.html. 

First Aid only cases do not go on the OSHA Log.

Remember that the OSHA Log is a different system than your Workers Compensation Insurance system.  They are independent of each other, but cases that are OSHA Recordable can be, (and in my experience often are) Workers Compensation cases.  (But they do not have to be.)

If the incident required only the following types of treatment, consider it first aid. Do NOT record the case if it involves only: 

▼ using non-prescription medications at nonprescription strength; 

▼ administering tetanus immunizations

▼ cleaning, flushing, or soaking wounds on the skin surface; 

▼ using wound coverings, such as bandages, BandAids™, gauze pads, etc., or using SteriStrips™ or butterfly bandages; 

▼ using hot or cold therapy; 

▼ using any totally non-rigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, non-rigid back belts, etc.; 

▼ using temporary immobilization devices while transporting an accident victim (splints, slings, neck collars, or back boards); 

▼ drilling a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluids from blisters; 

▼ using eye patches; 

▼ using simple irrigation or a cotton swab to remove foreign bodies not embedded in or adhered to the eye; 

▼ using irrigation, tweezers, cotton swab or other simple means to remove splinters or foreign material from areas other than the eye;  

▼ using finger guards; 

▼ using massages; 

▼ drinking fluids to relieve heat stress 

 The Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Cal/OSHA Form 300) is used to classify workrelated injuries and illnesses and to note the extent and severity of each case. 

When an incident occurs, use the Log to record specific details about what happened and how it happened. 

The Summary — a separate form (Cal/OSHA Form 300A) — shows the totals for the year in each category. At the end of the year, post the Summary in a visible location so that your employees are aware of the injuries and illnesses occurring in their workplace. 

Certain employers must also submit the summary data to federal OSHA through an online portal. Employers must keep a Log for each establishment or site. 

If you have more than one establishment, you must keep a separate Log and Summary for each physical location that is expected to be in operation for one year or longer. 

Note that employees have the right to review your injury and illness records. For more information, see CCR title 8, 14300.35, Employee Involvement. 

Cases listed on the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses are not necessarily eligible for workers’ compensation or other insurance benefits. Listing a case on the Log does not mean that the employer or worker was at fault or that a Cal/OSHA standard was violated.
