OSHA Recordkeeping
CONN-OSHA Breakfast
Roundtable Discussion Group
January 20, 2015
Purpose of Recordkeeping
• To require employers to record and report workrelated fatalities, injuries and illnesses
• OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping and Workers’
Compensation are independent of each other
• Does not mean
• The employer or employee was at fault
• An OSHA rule has been violated,
• The employee is eligible for workers’ compensation
Remember, OSHA rules and regulations are
2
made with the worst employers in mind.

and there is no lost time - days away
from work or job transfer/restriction –
it is not recordable.

clinic, emergency room, hospital, or
other medical treatment facility.
