DEFINITIONS

The following definitions apply to terms used in this booklet:

\* Catastrophe ‑ A work related incident resulting in three or more
employees being

hospitalized for inpatient care within 30 days of an incident.

\* Compensation Claims ‑ Forms submitted to the Department of Labor\'s
office or workers\'

compensation programs to record and report injured, illnesses, and
fatalities arising out of

or in the course of employment. Three forms contain items OSHA requires
agencies to

complete:

[Form CA‑1]{.underline} ‑ Federal Employee\'s Notice of Traumatic Injury
and Claim for

Continuation of Pay/Compensation (Appendix G):

[Form CA‑2]{.underline} ‑ Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for
Compensation (Appendix

H); and,

[Form CA‑6]{.underline} ‑ Official Superior\'s Report of Employee\'s
Death (Appendix I).

\* Establishment ‑ A single physical location where business is
conducted or where

services or operations are performed. Typically, an \"Establishment\"
refers to a field

activity, regional office, and area office, installation or facility.

\* Illness/Disease ‑ A nontraumatic physiological harm or loss of
capacity produced by

systemic infection; continued or repeated stress or strain; exposure to
toxins, poisons,

fumes, etc.; or other continued and repeated exposures to conditions of
the work

environment over a long period of time. For practical purposes, an
occupational

illness/disease is any reported condition which does not meet the
definition of injury.

\* Incident ‑ Used to refer to an injury or illness/disease.

\* Injury ‑ A traumatic wound or other condition of the body caused by
external force,

including stress or strain. The injury is identifiable as to the time
and place of occurrence

and member or function of the body affected, and is caused by a specific
event or incident or series of events or incidents within a single day
or work shift.

\* Lost Time Case ‑ A nonfatal traumatic injury that causes any loss of
time from work beyond the day or shift on which it occurred; or a
nonfatal nontraumatic illness that causes loss of time from work or
disability at any time.

\* No Lost Time Case ‑ A nonfatal incident that does not meet the
definition of a lost time case. (Usually created by a compensation claim
for medical expense.)

**[INTRODUCTION]{.underline}**

This booklet summarizes Federal Accident Reporting and Recordkeeping
requirements of

the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It addresses
provisions of the

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (PL 91‑596), Executive Order
12196,

Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employee, and 29 CFR
Part 1960,

Basic Program Elements for Federal Employee Occupational Safety and
Health Programs.

Federal agencies are required to collect occupational injury and illness
data, to analyze

this data to identify unsafe and unhealthful working conditions: and to
establish program

priorities based on their analyses. OSHA is to have access to agency
records of

occupational injuries and illnesses unless they are specifically
required by Executive Order

to be kept secret in the Interest of national defense or foreign policy.

OSHA uses injury/illness data from compensation claim forms submitted
under the Federal

Employees\' Compensation Act and provided by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment

Standards Administration, Office of Workers\' Compensation Programs
(OWCP). OSHA uses

the data to set program priorities, identify Federal worksites for OSHA
inspections;

monitor agencies\' progress in reducing occupational injured, illness,
and fatalities, and to

report on the status of Federal civilian employees\' safety and health.

Agencies are required to complete OSHA related items on OWCP
compensation claim

forms. In 1986 OWCP revised forms CA‑1 and CA‑2 to accommodate
agencies\' coding and

OWCP\'s entry of data. The revised forms include labeled blocks for the
codes; codes are

to be placed n existed blocks on previous forms.

The recordkeeping and reporting provisions described in this booklet
cover the basic

requirements for all Occupational Safety and Health Programs. Agencies
should augment

these requirements to design accident prevention programs tailored to
their missions,

organizations and operations.

**[LOG OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES AND ILLNESSES]{.underline} (1960.67,
.69, and .71)**

Each establishment must maintain a log of occupational injuries and
illnesses to provide a

quick and current view of workplace safety and health throughout the
establishment. The

format shown in Appendix A, or one with the same 12 data items, is to be
used for the

log. The log is to be completed with six working days after receiving
information on an

incident. All injuries, illnesses and fatalities for which a CA‑1, 2 or
6 is filed with OWCP

shall be logged. CA‑1\'s submitted to document an injury or exposure are
to be placed in

the employee\'s official personnel or medical folder, not sent to OWCP,
there is no lost

time or medical reimbursement required.

Claims controverted or otherwise challenged shall be logged but may be
deleted if OWCP

denies the legitimacy of the claims. Claims resulting in permanent
transfer, termination of

employment or subsequent granting of Continuation of Pay (COP) shall be
recorded as

lost time cases. Maintenance of logs at area or regional levels is
permitted if there is

quarterly feedback of data to each establishment for access by
management, employee

representatives, employees and OSHA.

Yearly totals of all injuries/illnesses/fatalities shall be posted in
each establishment within

45 days of the close of the fiscal year and shall remain posted for 30
consecutive days.

The log format (Appendix A) with the right lower part completed may be
used for this

posting requirement.

[SUPPLEMENTARY RECORDS]{.underline} (1960.68)

An incident resulting in a fatality, a lost time case, or medical
expense, including

termination and permanent transfer, warrants investigation, analysis and
documentation

on a supplementary record. The supplementary record should identify the
personnel,

equipment, and activities involved, as well as the causes and
contributing factors. OSHA

Form 131 (Appendix B), OWCP Form CA‑1, 2 and 6, or equivalent agency
forms, may be

used for supplementary records.

Supplementary records shall be completed within six working days after
receipt of

information that an accident has occurred. If OWCP forms are use to meet
OSHA\'s

requirement for supplementary records, copies shall be maintained in the
occupational

safety and/or health office.

Regardless of the form used as a supplementary record, agencies shall
complete OWCP

forms CA‑1, CA‑2 and CA‑6 as described in this publication. Privacy Act
restrictions

applicable to OWCP records shall be maintained for OWCP forms and data
when they are

used in relation to accident prevention.

[AGENCY CODING OF FORMS CA‑1, CA‑2 and CA]{.underline}‑6 (1960.68)

OSHA requires agencies to code items on the CA‑1, CA‑2 and CA‑6 prior to
their

submission to OWCP. Appendix C summarizes where the codes are to be
placed on the

new (CA‑1 and CA‑2, revised 1986) and old versions of the forms. New
forms have coding

blocks for the OSHA‑related items. On old forms, the codes are to be
**[added to]{.underline}**

information required by the title of the block.

[Occupation Code]{.underline}

Identify the occupation by writing the two letters of the employee\'s
Pay Plan (i.e. \"GS,\"

\"GM,\" \"WG,\" etc.) and the four numbers of the occupational series,
as listed on the

employee\'s most recent \"Notification of Personnel Action\", (OPM
Standard Form 50).

Occupational series are listed in the Federal Personnel Manual
Supplement 292‑1,

\"Personnel Data Standards.\" For U.S. Postal Service employees, write
\"PS\", followed by

the first four number of the occupation code. For employees who perform
service for the

Federal government, but do not have job titles that fall under the usual
job classification

systems, see Appendix D, Nonstandard Occupation Codes.

[Type and Source Codes]{.underline}

Type and Source Codes are used to described what caused the incident.
The type code

stands for an action and the Source Code for an object or substance.
Together, they

form a brief description of how the incident occurred. Where there are
two different

-2-

sources, code the initiating source of the incident (see example 1,
below). Type and

Source codes are given in Appendix E. Example are:

1\. An employee tripped on carpet Type: 210 (fell on same level)

and struck his head on a desk. Source: 0110 (walking/working surface)

**NOTE:** This example would NOT be coded 120 (struck against) and 0140
(furniture).

2\. A letter carrier was bitten. Type: 440 (bitten by) by dog.

Source: 0911 (dog)

3\. A forest ranger contracted Type: 510 (contact)

dermatitis from poison ivy. Source: 0920 (plant)

4\. A nurse contracted hepatitis Type: 410 (punctured by)

after being punctured by a Source: 0831 (needle)

contaminated needle.

5\. An employee was driving a Type: 800 (traveling in)

government vehicle when it Source: 0421 (government‑owned

was struck by another vehicle. vehicle, as driver)

**NOTE:** The type code 800, \"traveling in\" is different from the
other type codes in that its

function is not to identify factors contributing to the injury or
fatality, but rather to

collect data on the type of vehicle the employee was operating or
traveling in at the time

of the incident.

Agencies desiring additional codes to cover hazards of their operations
should contact

the Office of Federal Agency Programs, telephone 202‑693-2122.

[OWCP Agency Code]{.underline}

The OWCP Agency Code (\"chargeback code\") is a four‑digit (or
four‑digit plus two letter)

code used to identify the employee\'s agency. Agencies wishing to expand
from a four

digit to a six‑digit Code must contact the Office of Workers\'
Compensation Programs,

telephone 202‑219‑8463.

[Duty Station Zip Code]{.underline}

Duty Station Zip Codes should be entered in the blocks indicated in
Appendix C. For an

employee officially detailed to another duty station, use the Zip Code
for the temporary

duty station. DO NOT enter the zip code of a central office processing
compensation

forms in these blocks.

[OSHA Site Code]{.underline}

If OSHA finds that the OWCP Codes and the Duty Station Zip Code do not
effectively

identify an agency\'s establishments, OSHA will require the agency to
develop OSHA Site

Codes. In most cases the agency will be able to use existing codes ‑
financial management codes or unit identification codes, for example.
Agencies wishing to establish OSHA Site Code may contact the Office of
Federal Agency Programs, telephone: 202‑693-2122.

-3-

[FATALITY AND CATASTROPHE NOTIFICATION]{.underline} (1960.70)

Agencies must notify OSHA within 8 hours of each work related fatality
or inpatient

hospitalization of three or more employees. This requirement applies to
each such fatality

or hospitalization of three or more employees which occurs within thirty
(30) days of an

incident.

Notification can be made by telephone or in person to the OSHA area
office nearest the

site of the incident or by using the OSHA toll‑free central phone number

1‑800‑321‑OSHA.

Notification to OSHA shall include:

\* Establishment Name

\* Number of fatalities and/or hospitalized employees

\* Time, date, location and brief description of the incident

\* Contact person and phone number.

Agencies shall provide the Office of Federal Agency Programs with a
summary report of

each fatal and catastrophic accident investigation. The summary should
include the

information listed above, causal factors, the effectiveness of
applicable standards, and

proposed corrective/preventive actions.

[ACCESS TO AND RETENTION OF RECORDS AND REPORTS]{.underline} (1960.71,
.72 and .73)

Agencies shall publicize the availability of and provide access to
establishment logs and

annual injury/illness summaries. Access to these documents shall be
provided to

establishment agency safety and health personnel, establishment
occupational safety and

health committees, employees, employee representatives and former
employees with a

need to know, and to the Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and
Human Services

and their authorized representatives. Records and reports shall be
maintained by the

agency for five years following the end of the fiscal year to which they
relate.

[AGENCY ANNUAL REPORT]{.underline} (1960.74)

By January 1st of each year, agencies shall submit a report to the
Secretary of Labor

describing the previous fiscal year\'s occupational safety and health
program. Guidelines

for the report are provided in Appendix F.

and, if possible, compare these fatalities and disabilities with similar
statistics for the previous three‑year period. Data based on agency
claims submitted to OWCP is preferred, but internal accident or incident
reporting data (FARS) is acceptable, if OWCP data is not available to
the agency. The data should be displayed in charts or tables so that
changes can be easily seen or demonstrated.

2.  Use agency data to display the most recent OWCP chargeback and COP
    costs and, if possible, compare these costs with similar statistics
    for the previous three‑year period. The data should be displayed in
    charts or tables so that changes can be easily seen or demonstrated.

3.  Use agency accident or incident reporting system or supplemental
    reports to the OSHA logs or the OWCP reports for details which will
    help explain any significant trends and major causes or sources of
    fatalities and lost time disabilities which occurred last year(s).

```{=html}
