All employers, regardless of size, are required to notify OSHA when an employee is killed on the job or suffers a work-related hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye.
• A fatality must be reported within 8 hours.
• An in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye must be reported within 24 hours.
• All employers under OSHA jurisdiction must report these incidents to OSHA, even if they are exempt from routinely keeping OSHA records due to company size or industry type.
• OSHA defines in-patient hospitalization as a formal admission to the in-patient service of a hospital or clinic for care or treatment. Treatment in an Emergency Room only is not reportable.
How to Report an Incident
• Call the nearest OSHA office.
• Call the OSHA 24-hour hotline at 1-800-321-6742 (OSHA).
Be prepared to provide the business name, names of affected employees, location and time of the incident, a brief description of the incident, and a contact person and phone number.
When OSHA Reporting is Not Required
Motor vehicle accidents. For motor vehicle accidents, employers of commercial drivers are not required to report an event to OSHA if the incident occurred on a public street or highway and the employee was in the cab or driving.
Due to U.S. DOT jurisdiction, these incidents do not need to be reported telephonically to OSHA; however, they must be recorded on your OSHA 300 log as work-related injuries.
