OSHA Recordkeeping for Employees

Both you and your employer possess a tool so powerful it will help keep you safe while on the job; it is OSHA's recordkeeping procedures for workplace incidents. Also called Part 1904 after the federal regulation on which it is based, this is the standard method for reporting work-related injuries and illnesses. Part of the procedures involves posting a list of incidents that have occurred at your worksite, to illustrate the hazards you may encounter. You have to be involved as well, because your employer, and OSHA, cannot protect you without your help. You have to be OSHA's eyes and ears, reporting all relevant incidents. This means you have to know what incidents to report, as well as how to report them. Learn this information through this online training video.

If an incident results in days away from work, restriction from work, any significant injury, transfer, and other similarly adverse scenarios, it is a reportable incident. You should not have to worry about your safety at work; any such worry might detract from your performance, or, even worse, make you more susceptible to the injury you are trying to prevent. This is why Part 1904 is so critical, as it lets you know the risks beforehand, as well as giving your employer the chance to eliminate those risks through establishing effective safety measures.
