What Is an OSHA Recordable Injury?
When an injury or illness must be recorded on the OSHA 300 log.
An OSHA recordable injury or illness generally must be entered on Forms 300 and 301 when it is work-related and meets Part 1904 criteria—such as death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or a significant injury/illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional.
First-aid-only cases are usually not recordable. When in doubt, document the facts and consult current OSHA guidance or counsel. Rivkor's recordability workflow helps teams capture consistent fields for later log generation—without claiming to replace professional judgment.
