A recordable accident must result in death, absences from an employer, transfer of job, job restrictions, medical treatment beyond first aid, or the loss of consciousness. An accident also meets this requirement if it does not result in the aforementioned but involves a significant injury or illness documented by a doctor or healthcare professional.

What can you do if you received a careless operation ticket when you jackknifed a commercial vehicle but the damage was minor the vehicle was not towed the officer wrote the accident as dot reportable?

Not all officers are trained in the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations. A Recordable Accident is defined as an accident resulting in a fatality, an injury requiring anyone involved being transported to a medical facility, or either of the vehicles requiring to be towed. There can be differences between a DOT Recordable Accident and a Recordable Accident. In Idaho, up until recently, any accident with damage exceeding 500.00 was recordable. In Pocatello, ID any accident with ANY damage was reportable. If you are worried about a recordable accident affecting your safety rating, contact your local Federal Motor Carrier Administrative office, and they can best assist you.

If an employee has a vehicle accident while going to a jobsite is that an OSHA Recordable?

If the accident occurred while driving from home to a permanent job site such as a factory, it is not recordable. If it occurred while driving from one job site to another (of the same employer) it is likely recordable. If the accident happened while driving from home to a temporary job site like a construction site, and the employee does not have a permanent location to which he normally reports, it may be recordable. See the specific OSHA guidance. Al the above presumes the circumstances comply with all the other criteria for recordability.
