Chat Room working groups events Reviewed 26.04.2001 XML for Safety OSHA requires annual reports describing worker injuries in the form of the OSHA 200 log.
Some states require their own reports as well.
OSHA and the Center for Disease Control work on these reports. Generally it takes about 18 to 24 months to go from closing date to analytical results. If there were an XML standard for the report, maybe it would be more timely. Worker's compensation reporting has tight integration with human resources. The point of safety is to identify hazards and prevent those hazards from causing injuries.
