Recordkeeping

Q: An employee was injured at work and failed to report the injury.  The employee was terminated for not following company policy (reporting the injury).  Does the injury have to still be recorded on the OSHA 300 logs?  If so, how many days away from work should be reported?
A: Yes, the injury still needs to be recorded.  The number of days away from work should correspond with the doctor’s recommendation.
