OSHA logging regulations

OSHA logging regulations require companies involved in tree cutting and forest operations to keep detailed records of work-related injuries and illnesses. These logs help ensure workplace safety by tracking incidents, identifying hazards, and implementing improvements. Employers must maintain an OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses), create a summary (Form 300A), and report serious injuries or fatalities promptly. The goal is to promote a safe working environment, comply with legal requirements, and enable transparency in occupational health and safety management.
