This chapter contains the following topics:
Most employers are required to maintain information about injuries and illnesses sustained by employees as a result of performing their job duties.
(USA) In the United States the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires most employers to maintain information about injuries and illnesses sustained by employees as a result of performing their job duties. OSHA requires employers to record all occupational illnesses, regardless of severity, and occupational injuries that result in death, loss of one or more workdays, restriction of work or motion, loss of consciousness, transfer to another job, or medical treatment other than first aid.
To satisfy government reporting requirements, you can perform these tasks with Human Resources:
Track detailed information about any injuries or illnesses suffered by employees while performing their jobs.
Enter supplemental data that includes any additional information that you want to track about injuries or illnesses, regardless of whether you must report this information to the government.
Use the reports provided by the system to satisfy all governmental reporting requirements.
This section provides an overview of injury and illness information and discusses how to:
Open an injury or illness case.
(USA) Open an injury or illness case for the United States.
To satisfy many governmental health safety management requirements, you can track detailed information about any injuries or illnesses that the employees suffer during the performance of their jobs within the organization. This information includes:
Date of incident
Time of incident
Description of incident
Employee name
Employee occupation
Employee department
Part of body affected
Action taken
Lost or restricted time
You use this information to create and print health safety management reports. Reviewing these reports can help you to identify potential safety hazards.
You begin tracking health safety management information by opening an injury or illness case and entering the information that many governmental health safety management organizations require.
After you enter the required information for an injury or illness, you can enter supplemental data. Supplemental data includes any additional information that you want to track about injuries and illnesses, regardless of whether you need to report the case to governmental health safety management organizations.
After you have resolved an injury or illness case, you close the case. To analyze and verify injury and illness information, you can review information online.
When a work related injury or illness occurs, you open a case to begin tracking information about it. You use this information to create and run the reports, which are required by governmental compliance regulations.
In addition to the information that is required by the government, you can track injury and illness statistics that the organization can use to:
Identify hazards
Increase safety awareness
Evaluate safety procedures
An establishment is any single location where the organization conducts business or performs services. To determine the relative safety of each of the organization establishments, you can review the number and types of incidents that occur at one establishment, such as a branch office. You can narrow the search to incidents that occur at a specific home business unit or to one employee.
To determine which cases are resolved and which are still open, you can also review cases by case status.
Supplemental data is any additional information that you want to track, such as:
Employees
Applicants
Jobs
Dependents
Beneficiaries
Requisitions
Health safety management cases
When you set up Human Resources, you specify the types of supplemental data (data types) that you want to track. Supplemental data is not required by the system.
For health safety management cases, you might track these types of supplemental data:
How the injury occurred
Medical expenses
Hazardous materials involved
Hospital
Attending physician
Use the same method to enter supplemental data for health safety management as you use for any type of supplemental data that you track.
After you enter supplemental data for injury and illness cases, you can review that information by case or by data type. Use this information to identify unsafe conditions and develop solutions for them. You can review supplemental data for each injury or illness, including those that you do not need to report to the government.
Because you define the types of data that you want to track for injury and illness cases, the specific type of data that you can review depends on the supplemental data that you defined.
You use the same procedure to review supplemental data for injury and illness cases that you use to review supplemental data for employees.
Before you complete the tasks in this section:
Set up the defined code list for establishment search types (08H/ES).
Establishments are the places in the organization where the employees report for work or perform their duties, or are the business units from which they are paid.
Set up the defined code list for establishment conditions (05/CO).
Establishment conditions note whether unusual occurrences, such as a strike or lockout, occurred at the establishment.
(Release 9.1 Update) Set up user defined code for type of employment (08H/ET). Values are:
"." - Blank

Assignment to another job on a temporary basis.
Working at a permanent job less than full time.
Working at a permanently assigned job but not being able to perform all the duties normally connected to it.
Enter the date all matters concerning the occupational injury or illness case are settled and the case is closed.
Enter the date that the employee returned to work if the injury or illness resulted in days away from work. Use this field in conjunction with the Away from Work field.
Enter the date of the employee death.
Select the Injury/Illness Information tab
Enter a defined code (08/IR) that indicates whether the case is an injury or an illness. Valid codes are:
IN: Injury: Injuries are caused by immediate events in the work environment. You must record an injury when it requires medical treatment (other than first aid), or if it involves loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, or transfer to another job.
IL: Illness: Illnesses are any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. You must record all work related illnesses.
Enter the time of day the occupational injury or illness occurred.
Enter the computer clock in hours: minutes: seconds.
Enter the date the injury or illness occurred.
For occupational injuries, enter the date of the work accident which resulted in injury.

Enter a code that indicates the part of body affected by the injury or illness. You can define this code using defined code table 08/H4.
Enter a defined code (UDC 08/H5) that defines the exact nature of an occupational illness.
The sequence of the illness codes that Human Resources provides corresponds exactly to the sequence on the OSHA 300 Summary report. If you plan to print the OSHA 300 Summary report that Human Resources provides and send it to the US Department of Labor, you should not change the sequence of the codes.
For example, you can change defined code A, Skin Disease or Disorder, to code R (Rash), if that description better meets the needs. However, the corresponding column on the OSHA 300 Summary report always refers to Occupational Skin Diseases or Disorder.
If you are not sending the report to the Department of Labor, then changing the codes, descriptions, and sequence does not produce a conflict between the system description and the OSHA 300 Summary report.
Enter a further explanation of the occurrence. You can define this code using defined code table 08/H3.
Enter the establishment where the accident or illness occurred.
Enter the exact physical location where the event (injury or illness) occurred, such as the computer room, the loading dock, and so forth. You can define this code using defined code table 08/H2.

This section provides an overview of OSHA reporting requirements and discusses how to generate OSHA 300 report.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that certain establishments in the United States report injury and illness information. If the organization must report injury and illness statistics to OSHA, you can use the reports that Human Resources provides to satisfy all of the OSHA reporting requirements. Human Resources provides the OSHA 300 Summary and Log reports, and the OSHA 301 Occupation Illness/Injury report (R086415) to meet these requirements. All of the Human Resources OSHA reports meet OSHA requirements and can be used in place of government issued paperwork to satisfy reporting requirements.
OSHA requires that injury and illness information be reported for establishments that meet certain criteria. To ensure that the reports meet OSHA guidelines, you must set up establishment information before you can generate OSHA reports. You must also identify each employee who works in an OSHA reportable establishment. An establishment is considered any physical location where employees work.
The detailed or log versions of the OSHA 300 report include both case information and employee information. You can also use these reports to track company injury and illness statistics. These versions list the employees who suffered a government reportable injury or illness, a short description of the injury or illness, and the extent or outcome of the incident.
If you do not want the detailed format, you can generate the summary versions of the OSHA 300 report. The summary versions list each type of injury or illness, and the number of occurrences for each type. Generally, you use the summary format to meet the OSHA requirements to post the reportable illness and injuries that annually occurred at each physical location.
(Release 9.1 update) You can submit the OSHA 300A report electronically through the OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA). You can create a CSV file to be used to submit the 300A electronically via OSHA's Injury Tracking Application.
You generate the OSHA301 Occupation Illness/Injury report to satisfy OSHA record keeping requirements. When you generate this report, the system retrieves the information that you entered in the Injury/Illness Case Information program (P08601). This report includes only those cases that have been defined as government reportable; that is, cases for which the Government Reportable option on the Injury/Illness Case form is turned on.
You can use Human Resources to satisfy all OSHA 300 reporting requirements.
You generate the OSHA 300 report to satisfy government requirements for injury and illness reporting. You can create these reports in detail or summary mode.
The detailed or summary versions of the OSHA 300 report include both case information and employee information. You can also use these reports to track company injury and illness statistics. The detailed report versions list the employees who suffered a government reportable injury or illness, a short description of the injury or illness, and the extent or outcome of the incident.
If you do not want the detailed format that includes a log of each injury or illness, you can generate the summary versions of the OSHA 300 report. The summary versions list each type of injury or illness, and the number of occurrences for each type. Generally, you use the summary format to meet the OSHA requirements to post reportable illnesses and annual injuries that occurred at each physical location.
Before you complete the tasks in this section:
Set up UDC table 08H/ES to define all of the physical locations that you want to use as establishments for OSHA reporting.
(USA) Verify that Privacy Case has been added to UDC table 08/H4 and contains this information:
Codes: PRI
Description 01: Privacy Case
Special Handling: Y
You must verify that the Special Handling value is set to Y to ensure that the employee name does not appear in the log.
Hard Coded: Y
Set up establishment information for employees.
Map the OSHA reports to run in the local environment.
See JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Configurable Network Computing Implementation Guide.
The P086400 program is used to print the OSHA 300 reports. In addition to setting up the processing options for P086400, also set up the processing options for the OSHA Injury and Illness report (R086401).
Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.
Use this processing option to specify which report to run. Values are:
Blank: OSHA Report
1: OSHA Report
2: BLS Survey Report
Use this processing option to specify the version of the OSHA Injury and Illness report (R086400) that you want to run. The default version is XJDE0001.
Use this processing option to specify the version of the OSHA - 300 Injury and Illness report (R086401). The default version is XJDE0001.
Use this processing option to specify the version of the BLS: Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses report (R086402) that you want to run. The default version is XJDE0001.
Use this processing option to generate both the OSHA form 300A electronic CSV format and the standard selected UBE format (PDF, RTF, HTML, and so on). Values are:
Blank: Generate only the standard selected UBE format.
1: Generate both the electronic CSV format and the standard selected UBE format.
Enter the location where the system will save the OSHA 300A electronic CSV format. You must define this location when you request the electronic CSV format.
|
Note: The file path is a server path when the report is generated on a server. To specify a local path you need to install the JD Edwards application locally. |
Use this optional processing option to define the name of OSHA 300A CSV file. If the processing option is blank, the system generates a file name.
|
Note: OSHA - 300 Injury and Illness Audit Report (R086020) is generated when the processing options are set to generate the CSV file. The audit report shows any validation error between the CSV file and the OSHA data standards for electronic submission. |
Access the OSHA Establishment Reporting form.
