OSHA 300 Log Template
A fillable log of work-related injuries and illnesses that totals the columns you will need for the 300A summary. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type here is transmitted anywhere.
Click any cell to edit. Pre-filled with two realistic cases, including a privacy case entered the way 29 CFR 1904.29(b)(6) requires — the name is replaced, not omitted.
| Case no. | Employee name | Job title | Date of injury | Where it occurred | Description | Outcome | Days away |

What goes on the log
1904.7(a): a case meets the general recording criteria if it results in any of death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness. A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional is also recordable even without any of those outcomes.
First aid alone is not recordable. Neither is a near miss — that is what the near miss form is for.
Notice
Privacy cases
1904.29(b)(6) requires you to enter "privacy case" in the name column instead of the employee's name for a defined set of cases — including injuries to an intimate body part, sexual assaults, mental illnesses, HIV, hepatitis or tuberculosis, and needlestick or sharps injuries involving contamination with another person's blood. The sample row above shows the entry.
You still keep a separate, confidential list matching the case number to the name.
How long you keep it
1904.33(a): save the OSHA 300 log, the privacy case list, the annual summary and the 301 incident reports for five years following the end of the calendar year they cover. During that period you must update the stored 300 logs with newly discovered recordable cases.
You do not have to update the 300A summary or the 301 forms — only the log.
