OSHA requires2 that each employer with more than 10 employees must maintain a log of recordable occupational injuries and illnesses. Also, each must create an annual summary by calendar year. In addition, OSHA requires a more detailed incident report of each recordable occupational injury or illness. Instructions for OSHA forms specify the data for the log, summary and supplementary records. Employers must have these records available for inspection and, when requested, submit them to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
