Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The OSHA Form 300 must be completed within six working days.
Key Takeaway: OSHA must be notified within 8 hours only in the event of a death or the inpatient hospitalization of three or more employees. The OSHA form 301 requires a detailed account of each work-related injury or accident. Although it must be completed within seven calendar days, it is not posted. The OSHA Form 300A is a summary report of all work-related injuries and illnesses that take place in a calendar year and therefore cannot be completed until after the end of the year.
