If a company has no injuries, what must they post on Form 300?

1. A list of safety initiatives

2. A form with zeros

3. The number of training hours

4. Details of workplace conditions

The correct answer is: A form with zeros

When a company has no work-related injuries to report, they are required to submit Form 300 with the information that reflects their status, which would include posting a form with zeros. The Zero report indicates that there have been no recordable injuries or illnesses during the reporting period. This transparency is important for compliance with OSHA regulations and helps maintain accurate and complete records of workplace safety. Posting a form with zeros demonstrates accountability and ensures that the company is consistently monitoring and reporting its safety practices, even in times of no incidents. This practice helps to foster a culture of safety, encourages continual attention to health and safety standards, and provides a baseline for future reporting periods. Moreover, it can serve as a positive sign to stakeholders that the organization is actively engaged in maintaining a safe working environment. In contrast, the other options, such as listing safety initiatives, detailing workplace conditions, or mentioning training hours would not be appropriate for Form 300 in the context of having no injuries to report, as the form is explicitly designed to record and summarize work-related injuries and illnesses.
