Section 350.350
Multiple Establishments
a) Basic Requirement
Keep a separate OSHA 300 Log for
each establishment that is expected to be in operation for one year or longer.
b) Implementation
1) Keep OSHA injury and
illness records for short-term establishments (i.e., establishments that will
exist for less than a year), but the employer does not have
to keep a separate OSHA 300 Log for each such establishment. One OSHA 300 Log may
be kept that covers all of the employees short-term establishments. Include the
short-term establishments' recordable injuries and illnesses on an OSHA 300 Log
that covers short-term establishments for individual company divisions or
geographic regions.
2) Keep the records for an
establishment at the employer's headquarters or other central location if the
employer can:
A) Transmit
information about the injuries and illnesses from the establishment to the
central location within 7 calendar days after receiving information that a
recordable injury or illness has occurred; and
B) Produce
and send the records from the central location to the establishment within the
time frames required by Sections 350.390 and 350.420 when the employer is
required to provide records to a government representative, employees, former
employees or employee representatives.
3) Each employee must be linked
to one of the employer's establishments for recordkeeping purposes. Record the
injury and illness on the OSHA 300 Log of the injured or ill employee's
establishment or on an OSHA 300 Log that covers that employee's short-term
establishment.
4) When an employee of one of the
employer's establishments is injured or becomes ill while visiting or working
at another of the employer's establishments, or while working away from any of the
employer's establishments the injury or illness must be recorded. If the injury or illness occurs at one of the employer's
establishments, record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log of the
establishment at which the injury or illness occurred. If the employee is
injured or becomes ill and is not at one of the employer's establishments,
record the case on the OSHA 300 Log at the establishment at which the employee
normally works.
