Employers must report to OSHA within 8 hours in the event of a fatality at the workplace. If amputation, eye loss, or in-patient hospitalization happens to an employee, they have 24 hours to report the incident to OSHA. In specific situations, employers are not required to report incidents. These situations include injuries that resulted from a motor vehicle accident on a public road, those that occurred on commercial or public transportation, or if the employee went to the hospital only for testing and diagnostics.
