Cited by OSHA for Unreported Hospitalization? They Do That?

May 18, 2023

Did you know you have to report hospitalizations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration? Well, now you do. No one likes or wants on-the-job injuries, but it’s critical companies know what their responsibilities are when an injury happens. This week, Ask Brock takes a question from a company cited for an unreported hospitalization. It’s Ask Brock 213.

Reporting, of course, is important. But a worker got hurt and hospitalized, and that means jobsite safety processes may need a fresh look.

“We need to have a good safety program,” Yordy says. “We need to understand what happened and how we got someone hospitalized this week.”

He urges every drilling and construction company to take a proactive stance on OSHA compliance. Set up a no-cost, on-site safety consultation at www.osha.gov/consultation.
