Accident Reporting

Although small businesses (with 10 or fewer employees) are exempt from most of the injury and illness recording requirements, that small business exemption does not apply to the following accident reporting requirements:

  • Within eight hours, you must report by telephone or in person to the nearest OSHA office (or by calling 1-800-321-OSHA) any accident that results in one or more fatalities or hospitalization of three or more employees.
  • You must provide the public with MSDS data upon request.
