Question: Can an employer use a 3rd party (e.g. insurance company, accountant, private safety consultant) to complete and maintain the OSHA 300 log?

Answer: Employers may use 3rd parties to complete their injury and illness forms, but the employer is responsible for the content and accuracy of the forms. A company executive must certify that he or she has examined the OSHA 300 Log and that he or she reasonably believes, based on his or her knowledge of the process by which the information was recorded, that the annual summary is correct and complete.
