1 OSHA s Recordkeeping National Emphasis Program (NEP) 1
2 Purpose of the NEP Ascertain to what, if any extent, employer is under recording injuries & illnesses. NEP is designed to detect underrecorded and incorrectly recorded cases in high frequency industries. Skilled Care is included. Restricted to 40 or more employees per establishment. Data for OSHA comes from OSHA Data Collection Initiative (ODCI). 2
3 Facilities with DART rates between 0 and 4.2 in 2007 are targets. 3
4 Why is this important? 4
5 We have identified 27 of our facilities that meet the NEP criteria 5
6 At present, we have identified six of our facilities on the NEP target list 6
7 More will be added during
8 Conduct of the Inspections During the inspections, Compliance Safety and Health Officers (CSHOs) will: Calculate the DART rate for 2007 and compare it against the rate the employer previously reported to OSHA. If the DART rate that the CSHO calculates is above 4.2, the inspection will not be conducted. 8
9 Employee interviews Review the employer s 2007 employee roster and select employees whose records will be reviewed. For establishments with fewer than 100 employees, all records will be reviewed. For establishments with employees, or greater than 250 employees, a representative sample of employee records (50% and 33%, respectively) will be reviewed. 9
10 Review of Medical Records Review medical records, workers compensation records, insurance records, payroll/absentee records and, if available, company safety incident reports, company first aid logs, alternate duty rosters, and disciplinary records pertaining to injuries and illnesses. CSHOs are also required to review records that are stored offsite. 10
11 Review Log & visit MHP Independently reconstruct log entries for the employees. This will be compared against the employers logs. Visit any off site medical clinic to review medical records pertaining to the employees being investigated. 11
12 Interview with Recordkeeper Interview the designated recordkeeper. CSHOs must ask about and note whether there are any company policies that may have the effect of discouraging recording on the injury and illness records. An example would be if an employer had an awards program tied to the number of injuries and illnesses recorded on the OSHA log. 12
13 Interview of Employees Interview a sub sample of employees. Under the NEP, the selection of employees is not random. CSHOs are instructed to focus interviews on employees likely to be injured or become ill. 13
14 Key questions include, Have you ever been encouraged to not report an injury or illness or been encouraged to report an injury or illness as a non work related event or exposure? and Are there any safety incentive programs, contests, or promotions or any disciplinary programs here? Do these or anything else affect your decision whether to report an injury or illness? 14
15 The Supplemental Employee Questions Have you ever called in sick due to pain from performing tasks at work? Have you ever taken vacation days due to pain from performing tasks at work? Do you take over the counter medication (Advil, Tylenol, etc.) for an unreported work related injury? Do you know of anyone who has quit because of pain or injury? Who? Do you know of anyone who has quit because the work tasks are too physically demanding? Who? Are there specific departments, shifts, tasks that you know are more at risk for injury? If yes, which ones? 15
16 Interview of Healthcare Providers Interview first aid providers and other health care professionals. This interview should seek to determine the extent to which Management may influence medical treatment of ill or injured employees for the purposes of modifying OSHA recordability and to determine whether recordkeeping problems exist. 16
17 Management Interviews Interview management representatives regarding the manner in which injuries and illnesses are recorded and to also determine the existence of incentive or disciplinary programs that may influence recordkeeping. 17
18 Inspection Perform a limited walkaround of the main plant operation areas. The CSHO will generally be looking for consistency with the recorded injuries and illnesses, but will address any violations observed in plain view. 18
19 Ergonomics Finally, if a CSHO determines that a significant portion of the injuries and illnesses occurring at a facility are ergonomics related (e.g., sprains and strains, back injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendonitis), special inspection procedures apply. 19
20 Separate DART Rate The CSHO is instructed to calculate a separate DART rate for musculoskeletal disorders. If the rate is greater than or equal to twice the industry rate (approx for 2007), the CSHO must ask additional questions of employees, management, and health care professionals during the interviews. 20
21 What do you need to do? Make sure your 300A Summaries & Logs are correct for Make sure your medical records are tied to the OSHA 300 Case numbers. Be prepared for a walkaround. Make sure your Lifting & Transfer Plan in your Safety Manual is filled in. Suggestion: in service key staff using the ASIT Web Seminar Safe Resident Handling on the ASIT website. 21
22 What we will be doing Review all OSHA 300 Logs and OSHA 300A Summaries during our 2010 visits. Copy & digitize both logs & summaries Inspect your files to make sure the medical records are tied to the OSHA log number. Calculate the separate DART rate for musculoskeletal disorders. Prioritizing our 2010 visits to visit target facilities first. Monitoring the Target List weekly. 22
23 If you have an inspection: Don t panic! You have done nothing wrong! Call us: we will help with the responses. Don t attempt to influence employee s answers. If inputs are not correct, we will have a chance to correct. Be friendly, but remember: they are not your friends! 23
