Keep OSHA 300, 301 and 300A Records Organized for Retention
Federal OSHA generally requires covered employers to retain OSHA 300 logs, privacy case lists when applicable, 300A annual summaries and 301 incident reports for five years following the end of the calendar year the records cover.
Year-based organization
Keep cases and annual summaries grouped by year and establishment for easier retrieval.
Searchable records
Authorized users can find an incident without searching through paper binders or disconnected files.
Review history
Retain reporter, reviewer, recordability decision and timestamps with the case.
Employer responsibility
Retention and access obligations remain the employer's responsibility; Arkvos is the recordkeeping workspace, not a substitute for legal review.
Frequently asked questions
Do workers need Arkvos accounts for OSHA recordkeeping?
No. The Arkvos OSHA Recordkeeping Center is an employer-side workflow. Supervisors can report incidents and authorized owners/admins can review recordability and annual records.
Does Arkvos decide whether a case is legally recordable?
No. Arkvos can surface recordability criteria as decision support, but the employer remains responsible for making and confirming the legal recordkeeping decision under applicable federal or State Plan rules.
Does Arkvos replace legal or safety advice?
No. Arkvos organizes records and workflow. Employers should review current OSHA and State Plan requirements and use qualified safety or legal advice when needed.
