Summary
Our experts get a lot of questions asking if a workplace injury is recordable. Most of the time, the safety professional is actually asking “Does OSHA consider this to be work-related?” Generally, OSHA assumes that any incident at work is work-related, unless a specific exception applies. We’ve combed through the last 20 years of OSHA’s interpretations and FAQs for the best stories and real-world examples.
This presentation will illustrate the work-related concept by covering areas including:
- Injuries in parking lots, and when they are exempt
- Determining assigned working hours
- Exemptions for personal tasks
- Handling employees working from home
- Travel status and personal detours
- Horseplay and violence
- And much more!
We’ll save 10-15 minutes at the end of this webcast to answer your questions. Register today to learn more about injury recordkeeping and OSHA’s definition of work-related!
