Since 1970 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to keep records of occupational deaths, injuries, and illnesses. The records are used by employers and employees to implement safety and health programs at your workplace. Analysis of the data allows employees to identify workplace safety and health problems, and for tracking progress in solving those problems.
