What is Recordkeeping?
A written record of work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses
Is a BWC claim the same as an OSHA Recordable?
NO
Does every employer have to keep an OSHA recordable log?
NO
Partial exempt:
• Employers with less than 10 employees• Select industries (appendix A to subpart B)
with low rates
What are “rates”
• Calculation based on the number of OSHA recordables and the number of hours worked
Number of recordables x 200,000 ---------------------------------------------------- # of hours worked
Must report to OSHA
• Any work-related incident that results in a fatality
• Any work-related incident that results in 3 or more persons admitted to the hospital
Should I notify OSHA?
• Heart attack at work?• Traffic fatality – worker is on the job?• Amputation?• Employees going to the hospital?
(Must report a fatality if it occurs within 30 days of work-related incident)
If the injury, illness, or fatality had or might have had
something to do with work, it is to be recorded on the OSHA 300 log until you can prove otherwise
1904.5(b)(2) You are not required to record injuries and illnesses if ... (i) At the time of the injury or illness, the employee was present in the work environment as a member of
the general public rather than as an employee.
(ii) The injury or illness involves signs or symptoms that surface at work but result solely from a non-work-related event or exposure that occurs outside the work environment.
(iii) The injury or illness results solely from voluntary participation in a wellness program or in flu shot, exercise class, racquetball, or baseball.
(iv) The injury or illness is solely the result of an employee eating, drinking, or preparing food or drink for personal consumption (whether bought on the employer's premises or brought in). For example, if the employee is injured by choking on a sandwich while in the employer's establishment, the case would not be considered work-related. Note: If the employee is made ill by ingesting food contaminated by workplace contaminants (such as lead), or gets food poisoning from food supplied by the employer, the case would be considered work-related.
(v) The injury or illness is solely the result of an employee doing personal tasks (unrelated to their employment) at the establishment outside of the employee's assigned working hours.
(vi) The injury or illness is solely the result of personal grooming, self medication for a non-work-related condition, or is intentionally self-inflicted.
(vii) The injury or illness is caused by a motor vehicle accident and occurs on a company parking lot or company access road while the employee is commuting to or from work.
(viii) The illness is the common cold or flu (Note: contagious diseases such as tuberculosis, brucellosis, hepatitis A, or plague are considered work-related if the employee is infected at work).
(ix) The illness is a mental illness. Mental illness will not be considered work-related unless the employee voluntarily provides the employer with an opinion from a physician or other licensed health care professional with appropriate training and experience (psychiatrist, psychologist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, etc.) stating that the employee has a mental illness that is work-related.
An employee knits a sweater for her daughter during the lunch break. She lacerates her hand and needed sutures. She is engaged in a personal task. Are lunch breaks or other breaks considered "assigned working hours?" Is the case recordable?
Response #1: This case must be recorded because it does not meet the exception to work-relatedness in Section 1904.5(b)(2)(v) for injuries that occur in the work environment but are solely due to personal tasks. For the "personal tasks" exception to apply, the injury or illness must 1) be solely the result of the employee doing
personal tasks (unrelated to their employment) and 2) occur outside of the employee's assigned working hours. OSHA clarified in a January 15, 2004 letter of interpretation that Section 1904.5(b)(2)(v) does not apply to injuries and illnesses that occur during breaks in the normal work schedule. Here, the exception does not apply because the injury occurred during the employee's lunch break.
When in doubt record it.
Document why you did not record it.
Attention: This form contains information relating to employee health and must be used in a manner that protects the confidentiality of employees to the extent possible while the information is being used for occupational safety and health purposes.
OSHA's Form 300 (Rev. 01/2004) Year
Log of Work-Related Injuries and IllnessesU.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
You must record information about every work-related injury or illness that involves loss of consciousness, restricted work activity or job transfer, days away from work, or medical treatment beyond first aid. You must also record significant work-related injuries and illnesses that are diagnosed by a physician or licensed health care professional. You must also record work-related injuries and illnesses that meet any of the specific recording criteria listed in 29 CFR 1904.8 through 1904.12. Feel free to use two lines for a single case if you need to. You must complete an injury and illness incident report (OSHA Form 301) or equivalent form for each injury or illness recorded on this form. If you're not sure whether a case is recordable, call your local OSHA office for help.
