Effective January 1, 2015, all employers under the jurisdiction of OSHA will be required to report all work fatalities within 8 hours and all in-patient hospitalizations, amputations and losses of an eye within 24 hours of notification of the incident.

  • If an injury resulted from a motor vehicle accident on a public thoroughfare.
  • If an injury occurred on public transportation.
  • If in-patient hospitalization was for observation or diagnostics except admission for a heart attack or suspected heart attack occurring while at the workplace or from a work related incident.

Required Reporting Information:

  • Establishment name and address
  • Location/Address of the incident
  • Day and time of the incident
  • Type of reportable event
  • Number of employees involved and subject to event reporting
  • Names of all employees involved and subject to event reporting
  • Narrative description of the event
  • Employer contact person name, telephone # and e-mail information.

Reporting Methods:
