Why each option

OSHA Form 300 is the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, which records the who, what, when, where, and how of each recordable workplace incident.

AForm 301

Form 301, the Injury and Illness Incident Report, is a supplementary form providing additional detail on individual incidents - it is not the main log used to track all recordable events.

BForm 300Correct

OSHA Form 300, the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, is the primary employer recordkeeping form that captures details of each recordable incident including the employee affected (who), the nature of the injury (what), the date (when), the location (where), and the circumstances (how). Employers with 11 or more employees must maintain this log throughout the calendar year.

CForm 300A

Form 300A is the annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, which aggregates yearly totals and must be posted but does not capture individual incident details.

DForm 3165

Form 3165 is the OSHA 'Job Safety and Health: It's the Law' worker rights poster, not an injury and illness recordkeeping form.
