This chapter contains these topics:
To work with injury and illness data
To satisfy government reporting requirements
To satisfy the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), you must track information about all aspects of work-related injuries and illnesses. Using this information, you can create accurate and complete OSHA 200 and OSHA 300 reports. You can also review this information to help you determine how your organization can provide a safer working environment for its employees.
OSHA reporting requirements changed effective January 1, 2002. You use OSHA 200 reports to provide historical information to OSHA about work-related injuries and illnesses that occurred before January 1, 2002. You use OSHA 300 reports to provide information to OSHA about work-related injuries and illnesses that occur on or after January 1, 2002.
You can use your Human Resources system to satisfy all OSHA 200 and OSHA 300 reporting requirements.
