Answer 1

Answer: I know that as per OSHA guidelines, I must report workplace-related accidents. I would ensure that I implement the following OSHA guidelines:

I will report any worker fatality within 8 hours.

I will report any amputation, loss of an eye, or hospitalization of a worker within 24 hours.

Since I have more than 10 employees, I will keep a record of any serious work-related injuries and illnesses for five years.

Answer 2

Within eight (8) hours after the death of any employee as a result of a work-related incident, you must report the fatality to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor.

Within twenty-four (24) hours after the in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees or an employee's amputation or an employee's loss of an eye, as a result of a work-related incident, you must report the in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye to OSHA.

You must report the fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye using one of the following methods:

By telephone or in person to the OSHA Area Office that is nearest to the site of the incident.

By telephone to the OSHA toll-free central telephone number, 1-800-321-OSHA (1-800-321-6742).

By electronic submission using the reporting application located on OSHA's public Web site at www.osha.gov.
