Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
Work-related incidents that are defined as “recordable” by the federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) are added to the University's Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses in accordance with Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) requirements.
An injury or illness is considered recordable if it results in medical treatment beyond first aid, including loss of consciousness, significant injury or illness as diagnosed by health care provider, restricted work or job transfer, days away from work, or death.
