What is the OSHA 300-A log?

The OSHA 300-A log serves as an annual summary of the information recorded on the OSHA 300 form, which includes work-related injuries and illnesses. This log is a crucial component of workplace safety documentation, as it consolidates the total numbers and types of incidents that occurred over the past year. It is required to be posted in a visible location in the workplace from February 1st to April 30th each year, allowing employees and visitors to be informed about the workplace's safety performance. This practice promotes transparency and encourages a culture of safety within the organization.

This summary differs from other options in that it is not about individual incidents or monthly activities but rather a comprehensive overview of the year's safety performance, thus serving a unique purpose in workplace safety compliance and awareness.
