Which employers must maintain a record of injuries and illnesses?

• A. OSHA Record Keeping
• B. OSHA Training
• C. OSHA 301
• D. OSHA 302

Answer: (A)

Keeping records of work-related injuries and illnesses is an OSHA recordkeeping requirement. Under 29 CFR 1904, employers with 11 or more employees in most industries must maintain these records to track safety performance. They use forms such as the 300 log, the 301 incident report, and the 300A annual summary, which must be posted each year. Some small employers in certain low-hazard industries are exempt unless OSHA selects them to keep records. The key idea is that the obligation is about maintaining the records themselves, not about training or the separate use of the individual forms.
