Understanding Regulatory Incident Reporting

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an agency created in 1970 by the United States Congress to help employers and employees reduce the number of job injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Many other countries around the world have similar agencies dedicated to the same mission. OSHA requires employers to record and report work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is a Federal agency responsible for measuring working conditions and other economic and market indicators. The BLS Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities (IIF) program gathers and reports the statistics related to work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatal incidents and analyzes how these statistics vary by key demographics. The information it collects from employers is very similar to the information collected by OSHA.

To support the reporting requirements for OSHA and the BLS, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Health and Safety Incident Management system provides the following reports:

  • OSHA Form 300: Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.

  • OSHA Form 300A: Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.

  • OSHA Form 301: Injury and Illness Incident Report.

  • Survey of Occupational Injury and Illness Form (BLS-9300 N06).
