What are the recordkeeping forms?
  • OSHA injury and illness records should be recorded on Forms 300, 300A, and 301, or other equivalent forms if applicable.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300, 300A, and 301 forms, or equivalent forms, are used for recordable injuries and illnesses. The OSHA 300 form is called the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, the OSHA 300A is the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and the OSHA 301 form is called the Injury and Illness Incident Report.

What are equivalent forms?

An equivalent form is one that has the same information, is as readable and understandable, and is completed using the same instructions as the OSHA form it replaces. Many employers use an insurance form instead of the OSHA 301 Incident Report or supplement an insurance form by adding any additional information required by OSHA.

May records be kept on a computer?

If the computer can produce equivalent forms when they are needed, as described under 1904.35 and 1904.40, records may be kept using the computer system.
