About OSHA 300A Summaries
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all Federal agencies to create and post an annual summary of all OSHA-recordable, work related injuries and illnesses. The goal of this requirement is to promote improved employee awareness and involvement in the reporting of job-related injuries and illnesses. The OSHA regulations on recording and reporting occupational injuries and illnesses are documented at
29 Code of Federal Regulation 1904.7.
Recordable work-related injuries and illnesses are those that result in one or more of the following: medical treatment beyond first aid, one or more days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, diagnosis of a significant injury or illness, loss of consciousness, or death. Injuries may include cases such as a cut, fracture, or sprain. Illnesses may include both acute and chronic illnesses such as a skin disease, respiratory disorder, or allergy. All needle sticks and sharps injuries involving exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials are included.
The summaries are provided for Baltimore, Bethesda, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Main Campus, Poolesville, Rockville, and Rocky Mountain Laboratories. Individual buildings are listed by NIH building number or name. Summaries are posted for each building although for many buildings there were no OSHA recordable, work-related injuries or illnesses during the year.
The
Master OSHA 300A, which is inclusive of all of NIH's recordable injuries and illnesses, is available for review at the Office of Research Services (ORS), Division of Safety (DS) office (Bldg. 13, Room 3K04). If you have any questions or comments, please contact DS at (301) 496-2960.
All forms are available as PDFs. Download Free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I certify, to the best of my knowledge, that the annual summaries of all OSHA-recordable, work-related injuries and illnesses posted on this web-site are complete and accurate.
