Question
Who is responsible for recording injuries or illnesses for employees
obtained from a temporary agency, employee leasing or personnel supply
service?
Answer
Whoever supervises the employee on a day-to-day basis. If the day-to-day supervision is under the:
-
service (e.g. temporary agency, leasing or personnel supply), the service is responsible for recording the case.
-
establishment which used the service, the establishment is responsible for recording the case.
Question
Does a temporary personnel agency have to record cases for their employees
if they send them to work at establishments which are not required to keep
Cal/OSHA records?
Answer
Again, recording is related to whomever supervises the employee on a day-to-day basis. If the day-to-day supervision is under the:
- personnel service they are responsible for recording the case even if
the employee performs work for an employer who is not required to keep
Cal/OSHA records.
- establishment which used the service, they do not have to record the
case if they have no requirement to keep Cal/OSHA records.
Question
Who is responsible for recording cases for a contractor's employee who becomes ill or injured while working in my establishment ?
Answer
Whoever supervises the employee on a day-to-day basis. If the day-to-day supervision is under the:
-
contractor, the contractor is responsible for recording the case.
-
establishment which hired the contractor, the establishment is responsible for recording the case.
Question
Must cases recorded by the establishment (which hired the contractor or used the service) be recorded again by the contractor or service which supplied the temporary, leased or contract employees?

No, coordinate efforts with the service or contractor. Each case must be recorded only once on the Cal/OSHA 300 Log by whomever is providing the day-to-day supervision of the employee.
