  2. CURRENT OSHA REQUIRMENTS FOR HOSPITALS 2014 OSHA Form 300: Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. This form is used to record specific details about what happened, to whom, where, and how. The type of injury or illness and source is also recorded, as well as the resulting number of days away, restricted, or transferred to a different work assignment.

  3. CURRENT OSHA REQUIRMENTS FOR HOSPITALS 2014 OSHA Form 300A: Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. This form provides an annual summary of the number of cases, number of days away from work/ transferred/restricted, and number of each type of injury and illness. It is posted for employee review between February 1 and April 30 of the following year.

  4. CURRENT OSHA REQUIRMENTS FOR HOSPITALS 2014 2 OSHA Form 301: Injury and Illness Incident Report. This form records detailed information about each incident, including the date and time of the incident, how long the employee had been on the job, a description of the task the employee was performing before the incident, a description of what happened, a description of the injury or illness and affected body parts, and identification of the source of the injury. The date of death is recorded if the injury was fatal. This form must be kept for five years. An employer may use an alternate form as long as it includes all of the required fields. Many hospitals use their workers’ compensation incident forms to meet this requirement.
