Information needed for OSHA reporting includes a description of each work-related injury or illness and the date, place and circumstances of its occurrence or onset, as well as information on its physical effects and its outcome. For a nonfatal incident, you also maintain data showing its effects on the employee's ability to work.
The OSHA 300 Log report and OSHA 300A Summary report record information about work-related injuries and illnesses during the year, and present a summary of these injuries and illnesses at year end. An additional report, OSHA 301 Incident Report, provides further information about the cases you record.
The OSHA reports are XML-based and produce PDF output.
GREs with more than one establishment must maintain separate sets of OSHA records and reporting for each establishment. To represent these establishments and the employees within them, you use Reporting Establishments and establishment hierarchies.
Notice that for OSHA record keeping and reporting, clearly separate activities performed at the same physical location require treatment as separate Reporting Establishments. For example, if an enterprise has manufacturing facilities and sales offices in the same building, each activity constitutes a distinct establishment.
