February 27, 2024 Hi! Your friends here at Abyde just wanted to remind you that the OSHA Form 300A deadline is quickly approaching. The due date for reporting this is March 2nd, 2024. While reporting this vital information might not be the most exciting thing to do with your time, we’re here to make it easy. What is the OSHA Form 300A? The OSHA Form 300A is the yearly report of the injuries and illnesses from the previous year. For most, the Form 300A is the only OSHA form required to be submitted by this due date. This form does not include any personal information from the incidents, just an overall year summary. This document is a crucial tool for organizations to keep their employees safe, documenting safety hazards and preventing future accidents. Is there a more detailed form? Why yes, there is! The OSHA Form 300 is an expanded version of the OSHA Form 300A. The OSHA Form 300 includes personal information, the number of days out, what happened, and more. The OSHA Form 301 has even more specific questions on what happened and the steps taken, including the physician who treated the employee. Both the OSHA Form 300 and 301 have to be updated within 7 days of an incident. These more detailed forms also have to be submitted if you work for a major practice of more than 250 employees or over 100, if you work in a high-hazard industry. Also, OSHA Form 300, 300A, and 301 need to be stored for at least 5 years. How can I fill out the OSHA Form 300A? Well, we are one step ahead of you. With Abyde’s revolutionary OSHA software, log the incident by clicking the Safety & Health Logs section in your dashboard. Once clicking that, choose the type of incident (we require a little more information if it’s a sharps injury), and fill out the required information.
