Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:

29 CFR 1904.7(b)(3): When an injury or illness involved one or more days away from work, the employer did not record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log, or on an equivalent form, with a check mark in the space for cases involving days away and an entry of the number of calendar days away from work in the number of days column. At the inspection site, the OSHA Form 300 Log of Work Related Injuries and Illnesses was not completed accurately and completely. a) For calendar year 2011, case#40 had 2 days recorded in column K (Number of days away from work) but column H (Days away from work) was not checked. The employer should have checked ONLY column H for case# 40 instead of checking column I (Job transfer or restriction). b) For calendar year 2010, case#50 had 38 days recorded in column K (Number of days away from work) but column H (Days away from work) was not checked. The employer should have checked ONLY column H for case# 40 instead of checking column I (Job transfer or restriction). Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure recordable injuries or illnesses are recorded accurately for the classification of the case.
