What is an OSHA Recordable?
An OSHA recordable refers to certain types of work-related injuries that OSHA requires employers to maintain records of if they have over 10 employees.
The record of certain work-related illnesses and injuries can then be used to benefit OSHA, the employer, and the employee. An OSHA recordable may be used in the evaluation of workplace safety, to better understand hazards within an industry, and in the implementation of worker protection measures.
What Makes an Injury OSHA Recordable?
OSHA defines the following as recordable illness or injury:
- Any fatality that is work-related
- Any work-related injury or illness that results in restricted work, days away from work, transfer to another job, or loss of consciousness
- Any work-related illness or injury that requires medical treatment beyond first aid treatment
- Any work-related diagnosed case of cancer, cracked or fractured bones or teeth, chronic irreversible diseases, and punctured eardrums
OSHA also requires special recording criteria for work-related cases involving: hearing loss; medical removal; tuberculosis; and needlesticks and sharps injuries.
