EXPEDITED RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
[Filed November 20, 2024, 8:17 a.m.]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 296-27 WAC, Recordkeeping and reporting.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: In July 2023, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) updated federal rules to improve tracking of workplace injuries and illnesses. The rule went into effect in January 2024. The division of occupational safety and health (DOSH) must update WAC rules in order to remain as-effective-as OSHA, as required by the Washington state plan.
Proposed amendments:
| |
| • | Numerating definitions for ease in cross-referencing. |
| • | Removing "you" and adding "employee" or "employer" in order to provide clarity as to responsible party. |
| • | Removed redundant terms. |
| • | Updated gender-specific terms to gender-neutral terms. |
| • | Establishments with 100 or more employees in certain high-hazard industries must electronically submit information from their Form 300-Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and Form 301-Injury and Illness Report to OSHA once a year. These submissions are in addition to submission of Form 300A-Summary of Work Related Injuries and Illnesses. |
| • | Added new Appendix B-1 Designated industries required to file Annual electronic submission of OSHA Form 300 and Form 301. |
| • | Updated filing requirements for establishments listed in Appendix B-1 that had 20-249 employees the previous year. |
| • | Renamed Appendix B to Appendix B-2. |
| • | Updated Appendix B-2 to remove no longer used NAICS codes and include new codes. |
| • | To improve data quality, establishments are required to include their legal company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA from their injury and illness records. |
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The proposed rule making is needed in order to be at-least-as-effective-as federal OSHA under the Washington state plan.
Statute Being Implemented: Chapter
49.17 RCW.
Rule is necessary because of federal law, [no information supplied by agency].
Name of Proponent: Department of labor and industries, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Carmyn Shute, Tumwater, Washington, 360-870-4525; Implementation and Enforcement: Craig Blackwood, Tumwater, Washington, 360-902-5828.
This notice meets the following criteria to use the expedited adoption process for these rules:
Adopts or incorporates by reference without material change federal statutes or regulations, Washington state statutes, rules of other Washington state agencies, shoreline master programs other than those programs governing shorelines of statewide significance, or, as referenced by Washington state law, national consensus codes that generally establish industry standards, if the material adopted or incorporated regulates the same subject matter and conduct as the adopting or incorporating rule.
Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: This rule making is limited to implementing federal law.
NOTICE
THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Carmyn Shute, Administrative Regulations Analyst, Department of Labor and Industries, DOSH, P.O. Box 44620, Olympia, WA 98504-4620, phone 360-870-4525, fax 360-902-5619, email Carmyn.Shute@Lni.wa.gov, BEGINNING November 21, 2024, 8:00 a.m., AND RECEIVED BY January 21, 2025, 5:00 p.m.

AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 19-17-068, filed 8/20/19, effective 1/1/20)
WAC 296-27-001Definitions.
(1)Amputation. The traumatic loss of an appendage, such as an upper or lower limb (or part of the limb) or other external body part that has been severed or cut off either completely or partially at the time of the injury, or is surgically removed due to irreparable damage. Amputations may or may not include bone loss.
Note: | Amputations include fingertips and amputations of body parts that have since been reattached. Amputations do not include loss of an eye, broken or chipped teeth, scalpings, or avulsions, such as deglovings, where the skin and tissue have been torn away from the underlying subcutaneous tissue, tendons, muscle, or bone. |
(2)Authorized employee representative. An authorized collective bargaining agent of employees.
(3)Authorized government representative. A representative of the Secretary of Labor, conducting an inspection or investigation under the act, a representative of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (including the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)) conducting an investigation under section 20(b) of the act, or a division of occupational safety and health (DOSH) representative of the state department of labor and industries.
(4)Department. The Washington state department of labor and industries.
(5)Employer. A person, firm, corporation, partnership, business trust, legal representative, or other business entity which engages in any business, industry, profession, or activity in this state and employs one or more employees or who contracts with one or more persons, the essence of which is the personal labor of such person or persons and includes the state, counties, cities, and all municipal corporations, public corporations, political subdivisions of the state, and charitable organizations. Provided that any persons, partnership, or business entity not having employees, and who is covered by the Industrial Insurance Act, must be considered both an employer and employee.
(6)Establishment. A single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. For activities where employees do not work at a single physical location, such as construction; transportation; communications, electric, gas and sanitary services; and similar operations, the establishment is represented by main or branch offices, terminals, stations, etc., that either supervise such activities or are the base from which personnel carry out these activities.
(a) Normally, one business location has only one establishment. Under limited conditions, the employer may consider two or more separate businesses that share a single location to be separate establishments. You may divide one location into two or more establishments only when:
(i) Each of the establishments represents a distinctly separate business;
(ii) Each business is engaged in a different economic activity;
(iii) No one industry description in the North American Industrial Classification System applies to the joint activities of the establishments; and
(iv) Separate reports are routinely prepared for each establishment on the number of employees, their wages and salaries, sales or receipts, and other business information. For example, if an employer operates a construction company at the same location as a lumber yard, the employer may consider each business to be a separate establishment.
(b) You may combine two or more physical locations into a single establishment only when:
(i) You operate the locations as a single business operation under common management;
(ii) The locations are all located in close proximity to each other; and
(iii) You keep one set of business records for the locations, such as records on the number of employees, their wages and salaries, sales or receipts, and other kinds of business information. For example, one manufacturing establishment might include the main plant, a warehouse a few blocks away, and an administrative services building across the street.
(c) For employees who telecommute from home, the employee's home is not a business establishment, and a separate OSHA 300 Log is not required. Employees who telecommute must be linked to one of your establishments under WAC 296-27-02101(4).
(7)First aid. For the purpose of this chapter, first aid only includes the following:
(a) Using a nonprescription medication at nonprescription strength (for medications available in both prescription and nonprescription form, a recommendation by a physician or other licensed health care professional to use a nonprescription medication at prescription strength is considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes);
(b) Administering tetanus immunizations (other immunizations, such as Hepatitis B vaccine or rabies vaccine, are considered medical treatment);
(c) Cleaning, flushing, or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin;
(d) Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids™, gauze pads, etc., or using butterfly bandages or Steri-Strips™ (other wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, etc., are considered medical treatment);
(e) Using hot or cold therapy;
(f) Using any nonrigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, nonrigid back belts, etc., (devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts of the body are considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes);

(h) Drilling of a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluid from a blister;
(i) Using eye patches;
(j) Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab;
(k) Removing splinters or foreign material from areas other than the eye by irrigation, tweezers, cotton swabs, or other simple means;
(l) Using finger guards;
(m) Using massages (physical therapy or chiropractic treatment are considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes); or
(n) Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress.
(8)Injury or illness. An abnormal condition or disorder. Injuries include cases such as, but not limited to, a cut, fracture, sprain, or amputation. Illnesses include both acute and chronic illnesses, such as, but not limited to, a skin disease, respiratory disorder, or poisoning. Injuries and illness are recordable only if they are new, work-related cases that meet one or more of this section's recording criteria.
(9)Inpatient hospitalization. To be admitted into a hospital or equivalent facility for medical treatment.
(10)Loss of an eye(s). The physical removal of an eye occurring either at the time of injury or is surgically removed due to irreparable damage. The loss of sight without the removal is not reportable, unless the worker is admitted as an inpatient hospitalization after losing sight as a result of a worker-related incident, then it is reportable within the eight-hour time frame specified in WAC 296-27-031(1).
(11)Medical treatment. The management and care of a patient to ((com-bat))combat disease or disorder. For the purposes of this section, medical treatment does not include:
(a) Visits to a physician or other licensed health care professional solely for observation or counseling;
(b) The conduct of diagnostic procedures, such as X rays and blood tests, including the administration of prescription medications used solely for diagnostic purposes (e.g., eye drops to dilate pupils); or

(15)Physician or other licensed health care professional. A physician or other licensed health care professional whose legally permitted scope of practice (i.e., license, registration, or certification) allows them to independently perform, or be delegated the responsibility to perform, the activities described by this regulation.
(16)Preexisting condition. An injury or illness that resulted solely from a nonwork-related event or exposure.
(17)Routine functions. For recordkeeping purposes, routine functions are those work activities the employee regularly performs at least once per week.
(18)WISHA (WISH Act). The Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act.
(19)Work environment. The establishment and other locations where one or more employees are working or are present as a condition of their employment. The work environment includes not only physical locations, but also the equipment or materials used by the employee during the course of their work.
((You. An employer (see definition of employer).))
AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 15-11-066, filed 5/19/15, effective 7/1/15)
WAC 296-27-00103Partial exemption for employers with ((ten))10 or fewer employees.
(1) If ((your))the company had ((ten))10 or fewer employees at all times during the last calendar year, ((you do))the employer does not need to keep injury and illness records unless DOSH, OSHA, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) informs ((you))the employer in writing that ((you))the employer must keep records under this section. However, as required by WAC 296-27-031, all employers covered by WISHA must report any work-related incident that results in a fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or the loss of an eye.
(a) The partial exemption for size is based on the number of employees in the entire company.
(b) To determine if ((you are))the company is exempt because of size, ((you))the employer will need to determine ((your))the company's peak employment during the last calendar year. If ((you))the employer had no more than ((ten))10 employees at any time in the last calendar year, ((your))the company qualifies for the partial exemption for size.
(2) If ((your))the company had more than ((ten))10 employees at any time during the last calendar year, ((you))the employer must keep injury and illness records unless ((your))the establishment is classified as a partially exempt industry under WAC 296-27-00105.
AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 15-11-066, filed 5/19/15, effective 7/1/15)
WAC 296-27-00105Partial exemption for establishments in certain industries.
(1) If ((your))the establishment is classified in a specific, low hazard industry group listed in Table 1, Industry Exemption List for Recordkeeping at the end of this section, ((you do))the employer does not need to keep injury and illness records unless DOSH, OSHA, or the BLS asks ((you)) to keep the records under this chapter. However, all employers must report to DOSH any work-related incident that results in a fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or the loss of an eye of any employee (see WAC 296-27-031).
(2) The partial industry classification exemption is based on the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS), and it applies to individual business establishments. If a company has several business establishments engaged in different classes of business activities, some of the company's establishments may be required to keep records while others may be exempt.
Note: | To determine your NAICS code, you can do one of the following: |
| 1. Contact your nearest OSHA office or the department. |
| 2. Use the search feature at the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main web page: http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. In the search box for the most recent NAICS, enter a keyword that describes your type of business. A list of primary business activities containing that keyword and the corresponding NAICS codes will appear. Choose the one that most closely corresponds to your primary business activity or refine your search to obtain other choices. |
| 3. Rather than searching through a list of primary business activities, you may also view the most recent complete NAICS structure with codes and titles by clicking on the link for the most recent NAICS on the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main web page: http://www.census.gov/eos/www.naics/. Then click on the two-digit sector code to see all the NAICS codes under that sector. Then choose the six-digit code of your interest to see the corresponding definition, as well as cross-references and index items, when available. |
| 4. If you know your old SIC code, you can also find the appropriate 2002 NAICS code by using the detailed conversion (concordance) between the 1987 SIC and 2002 NAICS available in Excel format for download at the "Concordances" link at the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main web page: http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/. |

WAC 296-27-00107Keeping records for more than one agency.
If ((you create))the employer creates records to comply with another government agency's injury and illness recordkeeping requirements, OSHA will consider those records as meeting federal recordkeeping requirements if OSHA accepts the other agency's records under a memorandum of understanding with that agency, or if the other agency's records contain the same information as required by 29 C.F.R., Part 1904. ((You))The employer may contact DOSH for help in determining whether ((your))the records meet OSHA's requirements.
AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 15-11-066, filed 5/19/15, effective 7/1/15)
WAC 296-27-011Recordkeeping forms and recording criteria.
This section describes the types of work-related injuries and illnesses that ((you))the employer must enter on the OSHA recordkeeping forms. This section also explains the OSHA forms that ((you))the employer must use to record work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses.
AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 19-17-068, filed 8/20/19, effective 1/1/20)
WAC 296-27-01107General recording criteria.
(1) The employer must consider an injury or illness to meet the general recording criteria, and therefore to be recordable, if it results in any of the following:
(a) Death;
(b) Days away from work;
(c) Restricted work or transfer to another job;
(d) Medical treatment beyond first aid;
(e) Loss of consciousness for any length of time.
(2) The employer must also record any case that involves a significant injury or illness(((see WAC 296-27-01107(21))))(see subsection (21) of this section) diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional, even if it does not result in death, days away from work, restricted work, job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.
(3) The employer must record an injury or illness that results in death by entering a check mark on the OSHA 300 Log in the space for cases resulting in death.
(4) When an injury or illness involves one or more days away from work, the employer must record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log with a check mark in the space for cases involving days away and an entry for the number of calendar days away from work in the number of days column. If the employee is out for an extended period, the employer must enter an estimate for the number of days that the employee will be away, and update the day count when the actual number of days is known.
(5) The employer begins counting days away on the day after the injury occurred or the illness began.
(6) To record an injury or illness for which the employee comes to work against the physician's or other licensed health care professional's recommendation, the employer must do the following:
(a) Record these injuries and illnesses on the OSHA 300 Log using the check box for cases with days away from work and enter the number of calendar days away recommended by the physician or other licensed health care professional.
(b) Record the days away whether the injured or ill employee follows the physician or licensed health care professional's recommendation or not.
Notes: | 1. If the employer receives recommendations from two or more physicians or other licensed health care professionals, the employer may make a decision as to which recommendation is the most authoritative and record the case based upon that recommendation. |
| 2. Encourage ((your))the employee to follow the recommendation. |
(7) When an employee decides to stay at home after the date a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends that the employee return to work, the employer must end the count of days away from work on the date the physician or other licensed health care professional recommends that the employee return to work.
(8) The employer must count the number of calendar days the employee was unable to work as a result of the injury or illness, regardless of whether or not the employee was scheduled to work on those day(s). Weekend days, holidays, vacation days or other days off are included in the total number of days recorded if the employee would not have been able to work on those days because of a work-related injury or illness.
(9) When a worker is injured or becomes ill on a Friday and reports to work on a Monday, and was not scheduled to work on the weekend, the employer only needs to record this case if they receive information from a physician or other licensed health care professional indicating that the employee should not have worked, or should have performed only restricted work, during the weekend. If so, the employer must record the injury or illness as a case with days away from work or restricted work and enter the day counts as appropriate.
(10) If a worker is injured or becomes ill on the day before scheduled time off such as a holiday, a planned vacation, or a temporary plant closing, the employer only needs to record the case if they receive information from a physician or other licensed health care professional indicating that the employee should not have worked, or should have performed only restricted work, during the scheduled time off. If so, the employer must record the injury or illness as a case with days away from work or restricted work and enter the day counts as appropriate.
(11) The employer is not required to keep track of the number of calendar days away from work if the injury or illness resulted in more than ((one hundred eighty))180 calendar days away from work or days of job transfer or restriction. In such a case, entering ((one hundred eighty))180 in the total days away column will be considered adequate.
(12) If the employee leaves ((your))the company for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness, such as retirement, a plant closing, or to take another job, the employer may stop counting days away from work, days of restriction, or days of job transfer. If the employee leaves ((your))the company because of the injury or illness, the employer must estimate the total number of days away, days of restriction, or days of job transfer and enter the day count on the OSHA 300 Log.
(13) If a case occurs in one calendar year but results in days away during the next calendar year, the employer only records the injury or illness once. The employer must enter the number of calendar days away for the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log for the year in which the injury or illness occurred. If the employee is still away from work because of the injury or illness when ((you prepare))the employer prepares the annual summary, estimate the total number of calendar days ((you expect)) the employee is expected to be away from work. Then use this number to calculate the total for the annual summary. Update the initial log entry later when the day count is known or reaches the ((one hundred eighty))180 day cap.
(14) The employer must meet the following requirements for recording restricted work or job transfer.
(a) When an injury or illness involves restricted work or job transfer but does not involve death or days away from work, the employer must record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log by placing a check mark in the space for job transfer or restriction and enter the number of restricted or transferred days in the restricted workdays column.
(b) Restricted work occurs when, as the result of a work-related injury or illness:
(i) The employer keeps the employee from performing one or more of the routine functions of their job, or from working the full workday that they would otherwise have been scheduled to work; or
(ii) A physician or other licensed health care professional recommends that the employee not perform one or more of the routine functions of their job, or not work the full workday that they would otherwise have been scheduled to work.
(c) The employer does not have to record restricted work or job transfers if ((you))the employer, the physician, or other licensed health care professional impose the restriction or transfer only for the day on which the injury occurred or the illness began.
(d) A recommended work restriction is recordable only if it affects one or more of the employee's routine job functions. To determine whether this is the case, the employer must evaluate the restriction in light of the routine functions of the injured or ill employee's job. If the restriction from ((you))the employer, the physician, or other licensed health care professional keeps the employee from performing one or more of their routine job functions, or from working the full workday the injured or ill employee would otherwise have worked, the employee's work has been restricted and ((you))the employer must record the case.
(e) If an employee works only for a partial work shift because of the work-related injury or illness, the employer must record the partial day of work as a day of job transfer or restriction. However, the employer need not record the partial day of work if it is the same day the injury occurred or the illness began.
Note: | The case is considered restricted work only if the worker does not perform all of the routine functions (see definition in this chapter) of their job or does not work the full shift that they would otherwise have worked. |
(15) If the employer is not clear about the physician or other licensed health care professional's recommendation (i.e., engage only in "light duty" or "take it easy for the week"), the employer may ask the physician or other licensed health care professional:
(a) "Can the employee do all of their routine job functions?"
(b) "Can the employee work all of their normally assigned work shift?"
(i) If the answer to both of these questions is "Yes," then the case does not involve a work restriction and does not have to be recorded.
(ii) If the answer to one or both of these questions is "No," the case involves restricted work and must be recorded as a restricted work case.
(iii) If the employer is unable to obtain this additional information from the physician or other licensed health care professional who recommended the restriction, record the injury or illness as a case involving restricted work.
(16) To record an injury or illness for which a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends a job restriction, but the employee does all of their routine job functions, the employer must do the following:
(a) Record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log as a restricted work case.
(b) Record this job restriction even if the employee chooses to do all of their routine job functions.
Notes: | 1. If ((you receive))the employer receives recommendations from two or more physicians or other licensed health care professionals, ((you))the employer may make a decision as to which recommendation is the most authoritative and record the case based upon that recommendation. |
| 2. If a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends a job restriction, ((you))the employer should ensure that the employee complies with that restriction. |
(17) If the employer assigns an injured or ill employee to a job other than their regular job for part of the day, the employer must record the case as a job transfer.
Notes: | 1. This does not include the day on which the injury or illness occurred. |
| 2. Transfers to another job are recorded in the same way as restricted work cases on the OSHA 300 Log. Example: If ((you assign))the employer assigns, or a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends that ((you))the employer assign((,)) an injured or ill worker to their routine job duties for part of the day and to another job for the rest of the day, the injury or illness involves a job transfer. ((You))The employer must record an injury or illness that involves a job transfer by placing a check in the box for job transfer. |
(18) The employer counts days of job transfer or restriction in the same way they count days away from work. The only difference is that, if the employer permanently assigns the injured or ill employee to a job that has been modified or permanently changed in a manner that eliminates the routine functions the employee was restricted from performing, the employer may stop the day count when the modification or change is made permanent. The employer must count at least one day of restricted work or job transfer for such cases.
(19) If a work-related injury or illness results in medical treatment beyond first aid, the employer must record the case on the OSHA 300 Log. If the injury or illness did not involve death, one or more days away from work, one or more days of restricted work, or one or more days of job transfer, the employer enters a check mark in the box for cases where the employee received medical treatment but remained at work and was not transferred or restricted.
Note: | The professional status of the person providing treatment has no effect on what is considered first aid or medical treatment as defined in WAC 296-27-051. |
(20) The employer must record a case even if the injured or ill employee does not follow the physician or other licensed health care professional's recommendation for medical treatment.
(21) The employer must record "significant" diagnosed injuries or illnesses, such as work-related cases involving cancer, chronic irreversible disease, a fractured or cracked bone, or a punctured eardrum at the time of diagnosis by a physician or other licensed health care professional even if it does not result in death, days away from work, restricted work or job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.
Note: | OSHA believes that most significant injuries and illnesses will result in one of the criteria listed in WAC 296-27-01107(1): Death, days away from work, restricted work or job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness. However, there are some significant injuries, such as a punctured eardrum or a fractured toe or rib, for which neither medical treatment nor work restrictions may be recommended. In addition, there are some significant progressive diseases, such as byssinosis, silicosis, and some types of cancer, for which medical treatment or work restrictions may not be recommended at the time of diagnosis but are likely to be recommended as the disease progresses. Cancer, chronic irreversible diseases, fractured or cracked bones, and punctured eardrums are generally considered significant injuries and illnesses, and must be recorded at the initial diagnosis, even if medical treatment or work restrictions are not recommended, or are postponed, in a particular case. |

The employer must record a tuberculosis (TB) case on the OSHA 300 Log by checking the "respiratory condition" column if any employee has been occupationally exposed to anyone with a known case of active TB, and that employee subsequently develops a TB infection that is confirmed by a positive skin test or diagnosis by a physician or other licensed health care professional.
Notes: | 1. The employer does not have to record a positive TB skin test result obtained at a preemployment physical because the employee was not occupationally exposed to a known case of active TB in ((your))the workplace. |
| 2. The employer may line-out or erase a TB case from the log under the following circumstances: |
| a. The worker contracted TB while living in a household with a person who had been previously diagnosed with active TB; |
| b. The public health department has identified the worker as a contact of an individual with a case of active TB unrelated to the workplace; or |

WAC 296-27-01119Forms.
(1) The employer must use the following OSHA forms (or equivalent forms), for recording work-related injuries and illnesses:
(a) OSHA 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses;
(b) OSHA 300-A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses; and
(c) OSHA 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report.
(2) The employer must complete the OSHA forms as follows:
(a) At the top of the OSHA 300 Log, enter ((your))the business information and enter a one or two line description for each recordable injury or illness. Summarize this information on the OSHA 300-A form at the end of the year.

(3) The employer must follow these requirements for privacy concern cases when filling out the OSHA 300 Log:
(a) The employer may not enter the employee's name on the OSHA 300 Log. Instead, enter "privacy case" in the space normally used for the employee's name in order to protect the identity of the injured or ill employee when another employee, a former employee, or an authorized employee representative is provided access to the OSHA 300 Log under WAC 296-27-02111.
(b) The employer must keep a separate, confidential list of the case numbers and employee names for their privacy concern cases so they can update the cases and provide the information to the government if asked to do so.
(c) The following injuries or illnesses are the only types of privacy concern cases recognized by this section:
(i) An injury or illness to an intimate body part or the reproductive system;
(ii) An injury or illness resulting from a sexual assault;

(vi) Other illnesses if the employee independently and voluntarily requests that their name not be entered on the log.
(4) If the employer has a reasonable basis to believe that information describing the privacy concern case may be personally identifiable even though the employee's name has been omitted, they may use discretion in describing the injury or illness on both the OSHA 300 and 301 forms. The employer must enter enough information to identify the cause of the incident and the general severity of the injury or illness, but they do not need to include details of an intimate or private nature. For example, a sexual assault case could be described as "injury from assault," or an injury to a reproductive organ could be described as "lower abdominal injury."
(5) If the employer decides to voluntarily disclose the forms to persons other than government representatives, employees, former employees or authorized representatives (as required by WAC 296-27-02111 and 296-27-03103), the employer must remove or hide the employees' names and other personally identifying information, except for the following cases. The employer may disclose the forms with personally identifying information only:
(a) To an auditor or consultant hired by the employer to evaluate the safety and health program;
(b) To the extent necessary for processing a claim for workers' compensation or other insurance benefits; or
(c) To a public health authority or law enforcement agency for uses and disclosures for which consent, an authorization, or opportunity to agree or object is not required under Department of Health and Human Services Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, 45 C.F.R. 164.512.

WAC 296-27-061Nonmandatory Appendix A—Age adjustment calculations for comparing audiograms for recording hearing loss.
important: These computations may only be used for comparison of audiograms to record hearing loss on the OSHA 300 Log. This appendix is nonmandatory.
(1) In determining whether a recordable threshold shift has occurred, allowance may be made for the contribution of aging to the change in hearing level by adjusting the most recent audiogram. If ((you choose))the employer chooses to adjust the audiogram, ((you))the employer must follow the procedure described below. This procedure and the age correction tables were developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the criteria document entitled "Criteria for a Recommended Standard…Occupational Exposure to Noise," ((HSM)-11001).
(2) For each audiometric test frequency:
(a) Determine from Tables A-1 or A-2 the age correction values for the employee by:
(i) Finding the age at which the most recent audiogram was taken and recording the corresponding values of age corrections at 1000 Hz through 6000 Hz;
(ii) Finding the age at which the baseline audiogram was taken and recording the corresponding values of age corrections at 1000 Hz through 6000 Hz.
(b) Subtract the values found in step (a)(ii) from the value found in step (a)(i).
(c) The differences calculated in step (b) represent that portion of the change in hearing that may be due to aging.
example: Employee is a 32-year-old male. The audiometric history for his right ear is shown in decibels below.
Audiometric Test Frequency (Hz) |
Employee's age | 1000 | 2000 | 3000 | 4000 | 6000 |
26 | 10 | 5 | 5 | 10 | 5 |
*27 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 5 |
28 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 5 |
29 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 15 | 5 |
30 | 0 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 10 |
31 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 15 | 15 |
*32 | 5 | 10 | 10 | 25 | 20 |
The audiogram at age 27 is considered the baseline since it shows the best hearing threshold levels. Asterisks have been used to identify the baseline and most recent audiogram. A threshold shift of 20 dB exists at 4000 Hz between the audiograms taken at ages 27 and 32.
(The threshold shift is computed by subtracting the hearing threshold at age 27, which was 5, from the hearing threshold at age 32, which is 25.) A retest audiogram has confirmed this shift. The contribution of aging to this change in hearing may be estimated in the following manner:
Go to Table A-1 and find the age correction values (in dB) for 4000 Hz at age 27 and age 32.
| Frequency (Hz) |
| 1000 | 2000 | 3000 | 4000 | 6000 |
Age 32 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 10 | 14 |
Age 27 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 7 | 11 |
Difference | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3 |
The difference represents the amount of hearing loss that may be attributed to aging in the time period between the baseline audiogram and the most recent audiogram. In this example, the difference at 4000 Hz is 3 dB. This value is subtracted from the hearing level at 4000 Hz, which in the most recent audiogram is 25, yielding 22 after adjustment. Then the hearing threshold in the baseline audiogram at 4000 Hz (5) is subtracted from the adjusted annual audiogram hearing threshold at 4000 Hz (22). Thus the age-corrected threshold shift would be 17 dB (as opposed to a threshold shift of 20 dB without age correction).
