Which time frame is designated for the OSHA 300 Log maintenance?

12 months calendar year
Continuous until reporting
For a six-month period
Automatic renewal every year

The correct answer is: 12 months calendar year

The OSHA 300 Log must be maintained for a calendar year. This means that employers are required to record workplace injuries and illnesses on this log throughout the entire calendar year, which runs from January 1 to December 31. At the end of the year, the log must be reviewed, and a summary of the recorded incidents is to be prepared on the OSHA 300A form, which is then posted in a visible area for employees from February 1 to April 30 of the following year. Other time frames, such as continuous maintenance until reporting or a six-month period, do not align with OSHA’s requirements, which specify the annual nature of the log. Automatic renewal every year might suggest a proactive approach to maintaining the log, but it does not accurately capture the requirement that logs reset at the end of each calendar year while maintaining records for the previous years as part of their injury and illness recordkeeping obligations.
