New Query

§ 14300.30. Multiple Establishments.


(a) Basic requirement. You must keep a separate Cal/OSHA Form 300 for each establishment that is expected to be in operation for one year or longer.
(b) Implementation.
(1) Do I need to keep injury and illness records for short-term establishments (i.e., establishments that will exist for less than a year)?
Yes. However, you do not have to keep a separate Cal/OSHA Form 300 for each such establishment. You may keep one Cal/OSHA Form 300 that covers all of your short-term establishments. You may also include the short-term establishments' recordable injuries and illnesses on a Cal/OSHA Form 300 that covers short-term establishments for individual company divisions or geographic regions.
(2) May I keep the records for all of my establishments at my headquarters location or at some other central location?
Yes. You may keep the records for an establishment at your headquarters or other central location if you:
(A) Transmit information about the injuries and illnesses from the establishment to the central location within seven (7) calendar days of receiving information that a recordable injury or illness has occurred.
Exception: If you have an establishment in SIC Code 781 and it is operated at a location that is remote from your central location, you must transmit the information to the central location within the lesser of 30 calendar days of learning of the injury or illness, or 7 calendar days of termination of operations at the remote location;
(B) Produce and send the records from the central location to the establishment within the time frames required by Section 14300.35 and Section 14300.40 when you are required to provide records to a government representative, employee, former employee or employee representative;
(C) Have the address and telephone number of the central location or headquarters where records are kept available at each worksite; and
(D) Have personnel available at the central location or headquarters where records are kept during normal business hours to transmit information from the records maintained there as required by Section 14300.35 and Section 14300.40.
(3) Some of my employees work at several different locations or do not work at any of my establishments at all. How do I record cases for these employees?
You must link each of your employees with one of your establishments, for recordkeeping purposes. You must record each injury and illness on the Cal/OSHA Form 300 of the injured or ill employee's establishment, or on a Cal/OSHA Form 300 that covers that employee's short-term establishment.
(4) How do I record an injury or illness when an employee of one of my establishments is injured or becomes ill while visiting or working at another of my establishments, or while working away from any of my establishments?
If the injury or illness occurs at one of your establishments, you must record the injury or illness on the Cal/OSHA Form 300 of the establishment at which the injury or illness occurred. If the employee is injured or becomes ill and is not at one of your establishments, you must record the case on the Cal/OSHA Form 300 for the establishment at which the employee normally works.
