OSHA 300 and 300A – Safety Meeting Toolbox Topic
The OHSA 300 and 300A logs are known as the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (The OHSA 300) and the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA 300A). Simply put, the OSHA 300 is the complete record of all work place and work-related illnesses and injuries. This topic covers these logs.
OSHA recommends educating workers through programs such as safety toolbox (tailgate) training meetings to help prevent accidents and injuries.

Blood borne pathogens are infectious micro-organisms in human blood that can cause diseases including hepatitis and HIV. But it’s not only blood that can transmit these dangerous contagions — bodily fluids of all types, including saliva, can as well. This topic is designed to alert workers to these blood borne pathogens to avoid illness and contamination.
Ladders are one of the most commonly used tools in the workplace. While it may seem obvious how to use a ladder, ladders can be dangerous. Each year over 300 people die in preventable ladder falls. Make sure your team knows how to properly use a ladder to help avoid ladder accidents and injuries.
Back injuries are the most common injury in the workplace, and the cause of most missed work time. Back injuries can happen due to lifting something that’s too heavy, or over-extending (over-stretching) the back.
Excavating is generally recognized as one of the most hazardous construction operations. OSHA and state run plans such as Cal-OSHA require safety training for workers before they enter any excavation.
Toolbox or tailgate safety meetings are required by law to prevent workplace accidents and ensure workers perform their duties safely.
