Which form must be used to report the details of a single incident to OSHA?

• A. Form 300
• B. Form 300-A
• C. Form 301
• D. Form 409

Answer: (C)

Capturing the exact details of each incident relies on a dedicated incident report that records everything about a single event. The form for this purpose is the Injury and Illness Incident Report. It gathers who was involved, their job title, when and where the incident occurred, a narrative of how it happened, and the specifics of the injury or illness (the body part affected, the nature of the injury, and the event or exposure that caused it). This per-incident report is the primary source of detail about that one incident and is used to populate the overall OSHA records. The other forms serve different roles: the log tracks all recordable injuries and illnesses over a period, and the annual summary presents the counts for posting.
