Reportable vs Notificable incidents

Reportable vs Notificable incidents

Reportable vs Notificable incidents

(OP)
Recordable incidents/accidents might be either reportable or notificable.
 
Anyone knows the difference? Is there any stablished criteria?

Thanks

RE: Reportable vs Notificable incidents


"Recordable" generally indicates "recording" the incident in the US OSHA 300 log, meaning the injury was of a nature to require missing work or "lost time".  Any accident requiring lost time or reassignment away from normal duties (restricted duty work) is "recordable".

Any incident or near miss or accident should be recorded and tracked, and at the least dually noted, but is not necessarily of concern to OSHA.

RE: Reportable vs Notificable incidents

Any injury that requires more than basic first aid is also an OSHA recordable incident.  The only time you need to notify OSHA is when you have a fatality or a catastrophic event (3 or more people to the hospital).  God forbid if this occurs you must noitfy OSHA within 8 hours.
