For all companies: the data on this tab links to the Graphs/Stats > Plant Stats and Site Stats sub-modules. Ensure that this tab is populated to track related company statistics.

- To populate OSHA 300A reports, fill in the information on the ‘Time Loss - OSHA’ tab of the injury record window.
- Click the ‘Add’ button under either ‘Periods of Time Loss’ or ‘Periods of Restricted Work’. The corresponding data window will appear accordingly. See the following instructions on creating each record type.
Time Loss records:
- Select the appropriate ‘Off Work Date’ and ‘Expected Return’.
- Save the record. The ‘Calendar Days’ will not calculate until the actual ‘Return Date’ has been entered. When the employee actually returns to work, re-open the record and enter in the ‘Return Date’. Once the actual return date is entered, click the ‘Calendar Days’ button beside the ‘Away from Work Days’ field. This populates both the field and the corresponding ‘K’ field in the ‘OSHALog 300A’ section on the right side of the window. If the total calendar days exceed 180 and you click the ‘Calendar Days’ button, a warning will appear to advise that OSHA only requires clients to count up to 180 days, and that a maximum of 180 days will be printed to the OSHALog.
- Click ‘Okay’ to proceed to save the record and the same warning will appear. Click ‘Okay’ again to save the record as required.
- Once the calendar days have been calculated, the ‘K’ field can be modified as required.
Restricted Work:
- Select the appropriate ‘Start Date’ and ‘Expected Return’ dates.
- Save the record. The ‘Calendar Days’ will not calculate until the actual last date of restricted work has been entered. When the employee actually returns to their normal course of work, re-open the record and enter the ‘Return Date’. Once the actual last date is entered, click the ‘Calendar Days’ button beside the ‘Restricted Work Days’ field. This populates both the field and the corresponding ‘L’ field in the ‘OSHALog 300A’ section on the right side of the window. If the total calendar days exceed 180 and you click the ‘Calendar Days’ button, a warning will appear to advise you OSHA only requires clients to count up to 180 days, and that a maximum of 180 days will be printed to the OSHALog.
- If you click ‘Okay’ and still proceed to save the record, the same warning will appear. Click ‘Okay’ again and save the record as required.
- Once the calendar days have been calculated, the ‘L’ field can be modified as required.
- Click the appropriate ‘OSHALog 300A’ incident category on the top right side of the window as required (U.S. Companies).
- Select an injury or illness type in the ‘M’ field on the bottom right side of the window. If you delete a time loss or restricted work record from either browse list, the corresponding OSHA 300 fields (‘K’ or ‘L’) must be modified to reflect these changes. If the ‘K’ or ‘L’ field are not modified to reflect the adjusted time loss or restricted work days, then related stats will be skewed.
- To modify the OSHA 300 fields: re-open a time loss or restricted work record and click ‘Calendar Days’ again to recalculate the days lost or restricted. The ‘K’ or ‘L’ field will adjust accordingly.
