Which document would you consult to see information about workplace fatalities and catastrophes?

• A. FAT/CAT Report
• B. OSHA 300 Log
• C. OSHA 300A
• D. OSHA 101

Answer: (A)

The document used to report and review workplace fatalities and catastrophes is the FAT/CAT Report. It is the official OSHA form for notifying authorities about a fatality or a catastrophe, capturing essential details about the event so OSHA can track and respond to serious incidents. This focus on extreme events is what sets FAT/CAT apart from other records. In contrast, the OSHA 300 Log records everyday work-related injuries and illnesses, but not fatalities or large-scale incidents. The OSHA 300A provides a yearly summary of those injuries and illnesses, not the incident-specific details. The OSHA 101 form isn’t the standard document used for reporting fatalities or catastrophes.
