Whether an injury or illness is work-related;
Whether a work-related injury or illness needs to be recorded; and
Which provisions of the regulations apply when recording a work-related injury or illness.

To help you determine what action(s) to take, the OSHA Recordkeeping Advisor leads you through an online questionnaire. This Advisor is one of a series of online compliance assistance products from OSHA.
