This document provides an overview and training on OSHA's record keeping requirements for work-related injuries and illnesses. It discusses the OSHA forms that must be completed, including the OSHA 300 log, 300A summary, and 301 incident reports. Employers must record injuries and illnesses that are work-related, meet severity criteria, and are not considered first aid. Notable updates from OSHA are also covered, such as requirements to report fatalities or severe injuries within 8 or 24 hours. The training reviews criteria for determining work-relatedness and recordability. Employers must maintain the records for 5 years and make them available upon request from OSHA.
