OSHA 300 vs. 301 vs. 300A: What Is the Difference?

The OSHA 301 is the individual incident record, the OSHA 300 is the running log of recordable cases, and the OSHA 300A is the annual summary. Arkvos connects those records in one employer workflow.

OSHA 301

Detailed information about one injury or illness case, including the employee, event and treatment details.

OSHA 300

The establishment's running log of confirmed recordable injuries and illnesses for the year.

OSHA 300A

The annual summary of the OSHA 300 log, including case totals and employment information required for the summary.

Arkvos connection

A supervisor-reported incident can move through corporate review and then feed the 300 and 300A workflow when the employer confirms it is recordable.

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.
