Another critical component of OSHA is reporting. Employers in highly hazardous industries are mandated to keep records of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. OSHA’s record-keeping regulations are based on the framework from the national occupational safety and health record-keeping system. OSHA workplace safety adheres to a structured reporting requirement that catalogs all incidents in the organization. The primary reporting requirements for OSHA workplace safety include notifying OSHA about:

The death of any worker from a work-related incident within 8 hours of learning about it
Any work-related inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours
