On September 4, 2024, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)
announced launch of a new
Severe Injury Report dashboard. This online tool allows the public to search its severe injury report database and view trends related to workplace injuries in states covered by federal OSHA since 2015. Users can download data by year, industry, state, establishment name, and Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS) codes. Nursing homes (NAICS code 623110), assisted living communities (NAICS code 623312), and ID/DD communities (NAICS code 623210) are among the searchable industries.
OSHA has become increasingly focused on oversight of workplace incident recordkeeping. AHCA recommends that all long term care providers refresh their awareness of OSHA's
recordkeeping and reporting requirements and ensure that their policies are compliant with current regulations.
