What will happen if I don't get a tetanus shot after being bit by a dog?
There is a possibility that you could develop tetanus, which is also called lockjaw. This is an excruciatingly painful condition that can also be lethal; the shot is generally less than $20 at your local health department clinic and the side effects are minimal. Also, depending upon the dog, I would be concerned about getting rabies post-exposure prophylaxis - if the dog was not current on his/her rabies vaccine, there is a risk of you becoming infected with rabies. Check with your physician.

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.
Is tetanus communicable?
No. Not under normal circumstances. Tetanus is a communicable disease that is acquired by exposure to the bacterium or its spores in soil. Human-human contact of any sort will not transmit tetanus from one person to another. However any infectious disease can be passed from an infected patient to a healthy person using medical technology, so it is not true to say it is impossible.
What should you do if your dog bit another dog?
Get it checked out at your Vets. It's better to know for sure that your dog is still healthy. Usually if your dog has had a tetanus shot it should be fine but it's still better to be safe.
When do I need a tetanus shot?
As I understand, there is no last required tetanus shot. The vaccinations for tetanus are administered every ten years after the age of 6 years old. Before the age of six years old, a tetanus and diptheria vaccination is given when one is an infant, I believe. Exception is when one experiences in particular a deep would. If this occurs, a tetanus vaccination is given as what is called post-exposure prophylaxis. What that means is that the vaccination for tetanus is given due to the possibility that, due to the wound, one may have been exposed to the bacteria that causes the disease of tetanus. After the tetanus vaccination is given, it may take up to two weeks for the formulation of antibodies to prevent acquiring the disease of tetanus.
