Cal/OSHA requires employers to record and report work-related injuries and illnesses. Recording and reporting are two separate processes. You need not always perform both.

“Recording” involves creating and maintaining records of work-related injuries. Keep these documents as references; you will need them to prepare your annual summary of work-related injuries and illnesses, and if an inspection requires you to present your records.

Exclamation content: The Form 300 is used to record and classify work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses, and to note the extent and severity of each case.
