If an incident is deemed OSHA Recordable, OSHA requires a specific format and/or content for some of the data on the OSHA 300. Example: Column F instructions on the 300 Log states... "Describe injury or illness, parts of body affected, and object/substance that directly injured or made person ill (e.g. Second degree burns on right forearm from acetylene torch)." Instructions, programming, videos should be structured to facilitate generation of a complete and accurate OSHA 300 Log by ensuring the data format meet OSHA standards. Entries must be properly recorded to prevent a users' OSHA 300 Log from being filled out incorrectly which could result in hefty citations and monetary penalties if OSHA conducts a records inspection. Other examples: Column E... "Where the event occurred (e.g. Loading dock north end)", Column K & L... data should only include the number of days beginning AFTER the date of injury", etc. Lastly, the link for 'how to tell' if you're incident is OSHA recordable should take you to the 'Recordkeeping Advisor", not the actual regulation (which a lot of people can't decipher).
