26 San Diego Dealer DEALER ALERT INJURY LOG REQUIREMENTS & ACCIDENT REPORTING By Sam Celly, BChE MChE JD CSP LOG 300, 300A & 301 REQUIRED FOR AUTO DEALERS Background: Cal/OSHA now requires auto dealers and other employers to keep a record of occupational injuries and illnesses using OSHA Log 300. Forms & Guidance to Fill: California Forms: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/etools/recordkeep- ing/CAStandard/CalStandard.htm (1st link) • OSHA Form 300 – Log of Work-Related Injuries & Illnesses • OSHA Form 300A – Summary of Work-Related Injuries & Illnesses • OSHA Form 301 – Injury & Illness Incident Report Excel: We recommend using the excel forms as entry by hand in the limited space provided on PDF forms can make things cumbersome. Furthermore, the excel forms automatically calculate the Summary Log (which needs to be posted). Posting Requirements: Form 300A (Summary of Work- Related Injuries & Illnesses) for 2016 must be posted on the employee notice board from February 1, 2017 to April 30, 2017. ONLY Form300Aneeds to be posted. Disclosing injured employee name on the notice board is a big no-no.
