Introduction
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the requirements and procedures related to
the OSHA 300 Log as contained in OAR 437, Division 1, Rule 0700. This class will help

affecting the workplace. To get the most out of the workshop, please participate fully in
all the activities. We hope you have fun in your learning experience today.
Note: The OSHA 300 Log is not a workers compensation form, so we will not be
discussing workers compensation topics.

recordable case.
