When an illness is reported, the employee will be sent to the dispensary and the supervisor will fill out the first section of the Supervisor’s Accident Report and send it with the employee to the dispensary. The supervisor will contact the Safety Department and a thorough investigation must be completed. After the investigation is complete, the Safety Department will determine if it is work related. All injuries will be documented in accordance with OSHA 1904.7. The Safety Manager will maintain all OSHA documents including OSH 300 and OSH 301. If the injury is work related but not a recordable injury, the injury will be documented to calculate First Aid Incident Rate (FAIR).
If an alleged work related injury involves the loss of an eye, amputation, hospitalization, and/or death the Safety Manager will be responsible for contacting the local OSHA
