OSHA Recordkeeping
Requirements
Running a business means juggling a lot — and keeping up with OSHA recordkeeping doesn’t have to be one more headache. OSHA’s recordkeeping rules are designed to help you spot risks, protect your team, and avoid costly fines. We make it easier to stay on top of the process, so you can focus on what you do best.

Meet the OSHA Forms That Make it Official
Who Needs to Keep OSHA Records?
If you have more than 10 employees, chances are you’re required to track workplace injuries and illnesses. Even in low-risk industries, good recordkeeping protects your business and your team. Keep in mind: federal and state OSHA requirements may differ.
What Exactly Should You
Record?
Not every scrape or bruise makes the cut. OSHA wants you to log serious incidents—think injuries that cause time off work, restricted duties, or medical treatment beyond first aid. The goal? To highlight patterns and prevent future accidents.
How Soon Must I Fill Out an OSHA Incident Report?
You must log a recordable work-related injury or illness on OSHA Form 300 and complete Form 301 within 7 calendar days of learning about it. Severe cases must also be reported directly to OSHA within 8 or 24 hours, depending on the incident.
How Long Must OSHA Records be Kept?
OSHA requires you to keep these records for 5 years after the calendar year they were created. This helps you track long-term safety trends and provides proof if OSHA requests them.
But it doesn't have to be.
