Injuries and Illnesses in Your Workplace
OSHA's Recordkeeping rule requires most employers with more than 10 workers to keep a log of injuries and illnesses.
The log, which is also called the OSHA 300, must contain all work-related injuries and illnesses resulting in lost workdays, restricted work or transfer to another job, as well as any incident requiring more than first aid treatment.
You have the right to review the current log, as well as the logs stored for the past 5 years. The employer must provide this by the end of the next workday. The names and other information on the log may not be removed, unless the case is a "privacy concern case."
The right to review the log includes former employees, their personal representatives, and authorized employee representatives.
"Privacy concern cases" are those involving an intimate body part, mental illness, HIV, etc. For more details, see 1904.29(b)(7).
You also have the right to view the annually posted summary of the injuries and illnesses (OSHA 300A).
