Reporting Hospitalizations to OSHA: It's Like Calling the Cops on Yourself

The OSHA standards require employers to contact OSHA when an employee is admitted to the hospital for treatment due to a work injury. Thats like calling the police on yourself. So employers should be sure to do so only when required. In this episode of the Health & Safety Law Report, Abbie and Doug discuss OSHA's definition of "treatment." Do diagnostics count? How about an overnight stay in the hospital for observation? And what happens if the employer doesn't learn about an employee's treatment in the hospital until long after the work injury? Or what if the injured employee is not admitted to the hospital for several days after the work injury? Tune in to the Health & Safety Law Report to learn the answers to these and other burning questions.
