Safety: incident log + OSHA 300 + workers' comp packet

Log incidents, generate OSHA Form 300 / 300A / 301, ship workers' comp packets to your insurer.

Once you have employees, you need a paper trail every time someone gets hurt. Two reasons: insurance carriers ask for a signed narrative + witness statements before they'll process a workers' comp claim, and OSHA requires an annual recordkeeping summary if you have 11+ employees in a covered NAICS. FieldKrew gives you both, free with Pro. Logging an incident Open Safety from the nav → + Log incident . Fill in the employee, date, location, what happened in plain English, body part affected, source object, and pick a classification: First aid / Near miss — not recordable. Still logged for learning. Medical — beyond first aid (sutures, prescription meds). Recordable. Restricted work — they came back but couldn't do their normal job. Recordable. Days away — missed work days. Recordable. Fatality — also report to OSHA within 8 hours. Recordable cases auto-assign a sequential OSHA case number per year. Sign-off (your name + date) locks the narrative — required by 29 CFR 1904.32 for the annual summary. Witnesses Open the incident → + Add witness . Name, role, phone, statement, and a drawn signature. A signed witness statement carries way more weight with carriers and in litigation than an unsigned one. Signatures get embedded in the 301 report and workers' comp packet PDFs. OSHA Forms (Pro) Safety → OSHA forms tab. Pick a year, click to open the PDF: Form 300 — running log of every recordable case for the year (one row per case). Form 300A — annual summary. Must be posted in the workplace Feb 1 – April 30 of the year following. FieldKrew emails you Feb 1 with the link. Form 301 — single-incident detailed report. Available from each incident's detail screen. The forms pull establishment + NAICS + employee headcount from Safety → Settings, so fill those in first. We generate equivalent forms per 29 CFR 1904.29 (OSHA allows your-own-forms as long as they contain the same data fields). Workers' comp claim packet Open any incident → Workers' comp packet (PDF) . One PDF containing: a cover sheet with claim summary + your insurer info, the 301-style incident detail with witnesses and their signatures, and up to 10 incident photos embedded full-page. Email it straight to your carrier. Your insurer info (carrier name, policy number, phone, email) lives in Safety → Settings. Safety certifications Safety → Certifications tab. Track OSHA-10, OSHA-30, CPR, forklift, scaffold competent person, lockout/tagout, confined space, etc. Set expiration dates and FieldKrew emails you 30 days before any cert expires — batched per-owner so you don't get 12 emails on the same morning. Toolbox talks Safety → Toolbox talks . Log short on-site safety meetings (date, topic, attendees, notes). Carriers ask for this in audits to prove you cover safety regularly. Do I have to file OSHA 300? You're exempt from recordkeeping if you had 10 or fewer employees at all times during the prior year, OR your NAICS is on OSHA's partial-exempt list (most retail, services). You're required if you had 11+ employees AND you're in a covered NAICS (construction trades, landscaping, cleaning, pest control, manufacturing).
