All, can anyone who has US locations please let me know - do they have their own version of an accident book and where can I purchase one. I have done a zillion internet searches (OSHA included) and all I want is to be able to buy a compliant book to send to each of our offices to use. Thanks in advance. Also, anyone with a US responsibility it would be good if you could send me a PM - I'd love to run a few things by someone and also it would be good to have someone to speak to every now and again who can relate. Don't worry I won't bug you and / or bombard you with calls, mail :). Thanks so much.

The GB Accident book is to do with Social Security requirements, not HASAWA or secondary Health & SAfety Regulations--although now one could include the over 3-day injury record in the Accident Book. OSHA has a lower threshold for statutory workplace injury & disease recording. The record is referred to as the "OSHA 300 Log". All details are at:- https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html

Jay beat me to it this overview page from the Department of Labor covers recording in the US which runs to several forms and logs https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/ in a previous employment we had a lot of fun trying to compare accident / injury rates around the globe thanks to the different definitions / forms and calculation methods adopted in each employment location, being a US based firm you can guess which method became our company standard absolutely no envy at anyone having to deal with this lot

Thank you that's very useful. I had actually looked at this, but wasn't confident in my understanding so thanks for clarifying (Jay and Round). I appreciate it.
