If a forklift accident occurred at your facility today, would you be required to report it?

Per its standard 29 CFR 1904, OSHA requires employers to maintain logs of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. In January 2015, changes were implemented that revised the list of industries exempt from recordkeeping regulations.

OSHA Events that must be reported include:
