An employee who just turned 18 weeks ago - a day before she was hired-drops a box of materials on her foot, is taken to the emergency room, and is diagnosed with several broken bones. Which of the following has to happen?
  1. OSHA must be notified within 8 hours
  2. The OSHA Form 300 must be completed within six working days.
  3. The OSHA Form 301 must be completed and posted within seven calendar days of the date on which the employer learns of the work-related injury or illness.
  4. The OSHA Form 300A must be completed within seven calendar days of the work-related injury or illness.
Explanation
Answer - B - The OSHA Form 300 must be completed within six working days.

Key Takeaway: OSHA must be notified within 8 hours only in the event of a death or the inpatient hospitalization of three or more employees. The OSHA form 301 requires a detailed account of each work-related injury or accident. Although it must be completed within seven calendar days, it is not posted. The OSHA Form 300A is a summary report of all work-related injuries and illnesses that take place in a calendar year and therefore cannot be completed until after the end of the year.
