OSHA defines "days away from work" as the number of calendar days an employee is unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. This includes any day the employee would have worked, starting the day after the incident occurred. The count continues until the employee returns to their regular job or is assigned to a different job. This metric is important for tracking workplace safety and injury trends.

How many days can you work away from home?

Permanently, if you and your employer agree to it.


Definition-road warrior business travel?

75% travel is equal to the road warrior being away from home all week days except Friday; 50% travel is equal to 2.5 days of the 5 day work week. However, an easier calculation is simply on average there are 20 work days in a month, divide that into the number of days you are not at home. There is no extra credit for the fact that you may have worked all night in your hotel room.

How many work days are there in nine years?

To answer this, you need to know how many work days there are in one year. That depends on the company, its definition of a work week, and its number of allowable paid nonwork days (holidays, PTO, sick days, etc.). Employers and specific jobs can vary widely in this. One company could have 4-day work weeks, 10 paid holidays, and 21 days' PTO. Another could have 5-day work weeks, 8 paid holidays, and 15 days' PTO. Different answers, you see? Then multiply by 9.

How many days do you need to be out of work before it is recorded as a lost time on the OSHA log?

The day of your injury is not recorded as a Day-Away-from-Work. If you are not at work on the next regular workday, then every day after your injury that you are not at work because of the injury is counted. If you are injured on Thursday and are back to work on Friday - no lost days are recorded. If you are injured on Friday, not normally expected to work on Saturday or Sunday, and are back to work on Monday - no lost days. If you are injured on Friday, normally work on Saturday but your injury prevents you working until Monday - 2 days lost. If you are injured on Friday and cannot return to work until Tuesday - 3 days lost, whether or not Saturday and Sunday are scheduled work days for you.
