How to Manage an OSHA 300 Log and Summary Report Developed by: Safety & Environmental Compliance Office NOAA Safety Division
BACKGROUND In the past, the Regional Safety Managers were responsible for providing end-of-the-year injury/illness reports to all the sites. Each RSM would provide a copy of a log of incidents occurring at a particular regional or field site. With changes in the RSM responsibilities, this operation will now be accomplished at each Line Office and field sites by local safety representatives or administrative assistants.
WHY? OSHA 29CFR1904 requires each organization to maintain (minimum of five years) a log of injuries/illnesses and to post a summary report every year (between February 1st and April 30th). Line Offices are already required to report all injuries and illness in accordance with the NOAA Safety Policy. Recording the data onto a log is the next logical step for the site and will ensure compliance with OSHA regulations.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED? You will need a blank OSHA 300 Log Form…
