Washington Administrative Code › Title 296 - Labor and Industries, Department of › Chapter 296-27 - Recordkeeping and reporting › Section 296-27-00105 - Partial exemption for establishments in certain industries

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
If your establishment is classified in a specific, low hazard
				industry group listed in Table 1, Industry Exemption List for Recordkeeping at
				the end of this section, you do not need to keep injury and illness records
				unless DOSH, OSHA, or the BLS asks you to keep the records under this chapter.
				However, all employers must report to DOSH any work-related incident that
				results in a fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or the loss of
				an eye of any employee (see WAC
				296-27-031).
(2)  The partial industry classification
			 exemption is based on the North American Industrial Classification System
			 (NAICS), and it applies to individual business establishments. If a company has
			 several business establishments engaged in different classes of business
			 activities, some of the company's establishments may be required to keep
			 records while others may be exempt.
Note: To determine your NAICS code, you can do one of the
				following:
1.Contact your nearest OSHA
			 office or the department.
2.Use the
			 search feature at the U.S.Census Bureau NAICS main web page:
http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/
. In the search box for the most recent NAICS, enter a keyword that describes
			 your type of business. A list of primary business activities containing that
			 keyword and the corresponding NAICS codes will appear. Choose the one that most
			 closely corresponds to your primary business activity or refine your search to
			 obtain other choices.
3.Rather than
			 searching through a list of primary business activities, you may also view the
			 most recent complete NAICS structure with codes and titles by clicking on the
			 link for the most recent NAICS on the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main web
			 page:
http://www.census.gov/eos/www.naics/
. Then click on the two-digit sector code to see all the NAICS codes under that
			 sector. Then choose the six-digit code of your interest to see the
			 corresponding definition, as well as cross-references and index items, when
			 available.
4.If you know your old
			 SIC code, you can also find the appropriate 2002 NAICS code by using the
			 detailed conversion (concordance) between the 1987 SIC and 2002 NAICS available
			 in Excel format for download at the "Concordances" link at the U.S. Census
			 Bureau NAICS main web page:
http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/
