Launched LogStead: guided OSHA injury recordkeeping for small employers

After building nights and weekends since March, LogStead is live: https://logstead.app

The problem: most small US employers still keep their OSHA injury and illness records — the 300 Log, the 300A annual summary, the 301 incident reports — in spreadsheets. The rules (29 CFR 1904) are fiddly, the deadlines are easy to miss, and recordability calls are easy to get wrong. Penalties for recordkeeping violations run up to $16,550 per violation.

What LogStead does:

• A plain-English recordability wizard that walks the 29 CFR 1904.4–1904.7 criteria and cites the rule in its result

• Auto-generated, print-ready Forms 300, 300A, and 301

• One-click CSV export in the exact format OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA) accepts — including the 300/301 case-detail file larger high-hazard establishments owe

• Automatic TRIR/DART rate calculation and deadline tracking (7-day recording window, Feb 1 posting, Mar 2 ITA submission)

• An append-only audit trail on every write

The compliance logic is deterministic on purpose — no AI in the record of authority. The output has to be defensible if an inspector asks.

I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who's dealt with OSHA recordkeeping: is the recordability wizard clear? What would make this an easy switch from a spreadsheet?
