An OSHA Reportable is any fatality, injury, or illness that is:
1. Work Related
2. A New Case
and includes:
One reason why OSHA exists is to avoid all of those reportable fatalities and injuries at work. The OSHA Reportable Page can be found at: http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html

Only workplace deaths or multiple hospital admissions are reportable to OSHA.Receiving a vaccine is not medical treatment for an occupational injury or illness and so is not an OSHA recordableevent.
Yes. The deaths in the World Trade Center were OSHA reportable.
The definition of an accident reportable to the DOT is different from the definition of an accident recordableunder OSHA. The same event may trigger both requirements or only one of the two. It depends on the specific circumstances.

Employers with 15 or fewer employees are not subject to random (general schedule) OSHA inspections. However, they can still be inspected if an employee files a complaint or there is a reportable event such as a workplace fatality.
Couple of different matters here- OSHA recordable, and OSHA reportable. An employer is required to report to OSHA any FATAL accident, or any accident that causes the hospitalization of 3 or more employees. Other injuries may be RECORDABLE, but are not reportable. If the worker has a medical restriction for more than the day of injury, it becomes a recordable. IF the healthcare provider returns the worker to duty, with "care not to aggravate the injury", that is not recordable as a day of restricted activity. If it is the employer's belief that this is NOT a work related injury, they may not be required to record it without other documentation. Do not confuse OSHA and Worker's Comp- two separate matters. If an employer believes an injury is not in the course and scope of employment, they may notify their Worker's Comp insurance carrier, or the State Industrial Commission, and contest the claim.

Chickenpox is not a reportable infection at this time. It may include data collection from the point of view of syndromic reporting.

Probably not - OSHA doesn't classify tetanus shots as medical treatment. However, this may depend upon whether or not being exposed to or working around dogs is part of your job - if a coworker brought a dog in on lunch break and you were bit by that dog, it is probably not recordable. If you are working in a dog daycare facility and were bit by a boarding dog, it may be recordable.
