Accepted Answer

Partially exempt from OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping

Answer

OSHA's recordkeeping rule partially exempts employers who had 10 or fewer employees during the entire previous calendar year from routine injury and illness recordkeeping, though they must still report severe injuries.

Question 2

Under OSHA recordkeeping rules, a 'privacy concern case' allows the employer to:

Accepted Answer

Withhold the employee's name on the Form 300 Log

Answer

For privacy concern cases (e.g., sexual assaults, HIV infections), OSHA permits employers to enter 'privacy case' in place of the employee's name on Form 300 to protect confidentiality.

Question 3

When counting 'days away from work' on the OSHA 300 Log, the employer should:

Accepted Answer

Begin counting the day after the injury or illness occurred

OSHA's counting rules exclude the day of injury or onset of illness; days away begin with the first calendar day the employee was unable to work.
