Overview of the webinar
Accurate OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping is essential for regulatory compliance and effective safety management. However, the complexity of OSHA’s recordkeeping rule often leads to confusion about when incidents must be recorded, how cases should be classified, and how severe injuries must be reported to OSHA.
This session provides a clear and practical review of OSHA recordkeeping requirements, with emphasis on areas where organizations commonly make mistakes. Participants will learn how OSHA determines work-relatedness, how to evaluate new versus recurring injuries, and how to properly classify cases involving restricted duty, medical treatment, or lost workdays. The program also explains OSHA’s reporting requirements for severe injuries, including fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, and eye losses.
In addition to regulatory requirements, the webinar will explore practical strategies organizations can implement to improve recordkeeping accuracy and coordination between safety, HR, and operations. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of OSHA recordkeeping requirements and practical tools to maintain accurate logs while reducing citation risk.

Why should you attend?
OSHA recordkeeping continues to be one of the most frequently cited areas during OSHA inspections, and many organizations unintentionally make errors that expose them to enforcement penalties. Misclassification of injuries, misunderstanding work-relatedness, and incorrect reporting of severe incidents can lead to citations, inaccurate injury data, and regulatory risk.
This session provides a practical overview of OSHA recordkeeping and reporting requirements under 29 CFR 1904, with a focus on common compliance mistakes that lead to citations. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how OSHA determines recordability, how to properly classify restricted duty and days-away cases, and how to ensure severe injury reporting requirements are met. The program also discusses current enforcement trends and practical strategies organizations can use to maintain accurate OSHA logs and reduce regulatory risk.
