Getting OSHA Recordkeeping and Reporting Right: 10 Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them -- Occupational Health & Safety

Getting OSHA Recordkeeping and Reporting Right: 10 Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Date: Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

When it comes to OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping and reporting, getting it wrong can create problems. The challenge for safety professionals is knowing how to make the right call, particularly when questions of work-relatedness, whether a recordable outcome has occurred, and reporting deadlines are not as straightforward as they initially appear.

Rather than providing a basic introduction to OSHA recordkeeping requirements, this webinar will examine 10 common recordkeeping and reporting mistakes, why they matter and how safety professionals can avoid them. The discussion will also take a closer look at two areas that frequently create uncertainty: determining whether an injury or illness is work-related and understanding the timing requirements that apply when an incident must be reported to OSHA.

Join Lindsay DiSalvo and Eric Conn of Conn Maciel Carey LLP for a practical look at some of the most common mistakes employers make when managing OSHA injury and illness records and reporting workplace incidents.

This session is designed for safety and EHS professionals responsible for OSHA recordkeeping, incident reporting, compliance and workplace injury management.

Attendees will learn:

Why both over-recording and under-recording injuries and illnesses can create problems for employers
Common mistakes involving OSHA 300 recordkeeping and how to avoid them
How to approach the often-difficult determination of whether an injury or illness is work-related
Common mistakes employers make when reporting serious incidents to OSHA
How reporting deadlines and timing requirements can trip up employers
Practical ways to strengthen injury and illness recordkeeping and reporting decisions
