An OSHA Reportable is any fatality, injury, or illness that is:
1. Work Related
2. A New Case
and includes:
- Death
- Days Away From Work
- Restricted Work Activity
- Transfer to Another Job
- Medical treatment beyond first aid
- Loss of consciousness
- Injury or illness diagnosed by a doctor
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
You can also find a written program and training materials for you company at http://www.affordablesafetytraining.com/ckor.html.

How many employees are required to have a OSHA inspection?
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.
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.

If I was bit by a dog at work and they gave me a tetanus shot is it OSHA reportable?
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.
