A Work Injury Report should be completed immediately following the incident or as soon thereafter as possible to comply with OSHA safety requirements. An employer is required to complete a detailed report of any recordable incident within 7 calendar days of learning of the event.
Examples of recordable events include any event that results in any of the following:
- Results in the death of an employee.
- Loss of consciousness.
- Employee Misses Work.
- Employee's limited ability to work.
- Employee is transferred to a different position as a result of the incident.
- Addition Medical treatment is needed beyond first aid.
(This list is not all encompassing. Employers should visit the OSHA website for a complete list and to review OSHA safety requirements).
While the employer is required to complete a report to comply with OSHA safety requirements, the employee directly involved in the incident will typically provide the information. This report provides a detailed description of the event including the date and time, events leading up to the incident, a description of the incident, the resulting injuries and any other information the reporter elects to include.
In order to comply with OSHA safety guidelines, Public Law 91-596 and 29 CFR 1904, an employer must retain the report regarding an incident for a minimum of 5 years following the year the incident occurred.
