OSHA 300 Record Keeping

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and 29 CFR Part 1907 require employers to prepare and maintain records of occupational injuries and illnesses. These records provide a basis for a statistical program which produces injury and illness data which are used by OSHA in measuring and directing the agency's efforts. The records are also helpful to employers and employees in identifying many of the factors which cause injuries and illnesses in the workplace.
