As an employer what is required to be reported to OSHA if the injury is very minor and short term light duty is used or how can the claim be disputed to protect the company safety record?
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.

In the UK there are two main parts of a compensation claim for personal injury which can be made against an employer: 1. Pain and suffering for your hernia injury and 2. Financial losses as a result of suffering the hernia injury.

Will your construction company's workers comp insurance drop you if you get OSHA training for your employees?
No. OSHA training for your employees may be required under law, so you may have insurance problems if you do not get them that training.Safety efforts can have a positive impact on your claims and therefore your premiums may come down. There are persistant stories of come Comp Carriers dropping companies because their premiums are lowered due to improved safety performance. However, a quality comp carrier will prefer clients with better safety records and will seek to keep them.
Is a workers comp representative able to report a business to OSHA?
Not an attorney, but as I understand the law, with the exception of a very few people that have "Privileged Communications", such as your attorney, a religious confessor, etc, anyone CAN file a complaint with OSHA regarding workplace safety, whether they are an employee of the business or not.
What is OSHA rating?
OSHA does not issue ratings, however businesses receive EMR's or experience modification ratings from their worker comp insurance company. 1.0 is the average rating for an industry. If the business has a lower rating (.9) then they are rated as having 10% less injuries than their industry. Generally this will mean a lower insurance rate.
