OSHA Recordkeeping Audit & QA Guides
Before a company executive certifies the 300A, 29 CFR 1904.32 requires a review of the OSHA 300 Log to verify that its entries are complete and accurate, and to correct any deficiencies you find. The rule says to review as extensively as necessary, which in practice means someone compares the log against the facts behind it: incident reports, medical notes, work-status records and payroll hours.

Most errors are small and repeatable. A case is logged before its outcome is clear and never updated. A first aid case is recorded because a clinic was involved, even though OSHA's first aid list applies whoever gives the treatment. Days away are counted as workdays instead of calendar days. Hours worked come from a payroll report that includes vacation and sick leave. A privacy case shows the employee's name. Each one is easy to fix in January and hard to explain during an inspection.
The guides in this topic are working checklists: the errors to look for, the evidence to keep behind each case, a quality control pass before certification, and an internal audit routine that scales across multiple sites. Run them monthly rather than once a year and the year-end review becomes a formality.

Keep the log, the 301s and the 300A in one place
300log turns each case into its OSHA 300 Log entry and 301 report, keeps privacy cases off the shared log, totals the 300A and files it with OSHA's ITA for you as soon as you authorize it.
