    1. Nooo, “reporting explained” would be to say “If the accident was fatal, report within 8 hours.
      If the accident resulted in a hospital visit, amputation, or loss of eyesight, report within 24 hours. Otherwise, no report to OSHA is needed.” I don’t know who the hell thought _this_ clusterfuck was useful.
       

    2. Am I the only person who was triggered by the fact that the amputation question doesn’t have an arrow leading to the “yes” answer?

    3. Makes sense. I think death/loss of limb/loss of sight is how many other processes like worker’s comp, insurance, etc. are categorized.

      So if someone is breaking OSHA protocols and someone “almost” gets hurt, but for some reason of sheer luck nobody did, you don’t have to report it?

      That seems like a shitty protocol to me.
      First someone needs to lose a limb before anyone cares to report it. Damn,.

    5. I like how it switches from “worker” to “someone”. I feel like the answer to “did someone lose an eye?” is always “yes”. Someone has lost one at some point.

    6. Company policy is as long as you have one working eye you finish your shift. this gen z and their ocular entitlement.

      So there are cases where someone loat a limb or an eye but was not admitted to the hospital. 

    8. Loss of an eye or amputation, but no hospital visit… I guess if your work is so far away from a hospital, it’s unfeasible otherwise how?

    9. Oops slipped 17 discs and tore my acl, no hospital visit and it was my bosses fault. Nothing to see here osha

    10. What if it was their pride that was injured due to amputation of their delusions of grandeur? Or does that just get reported to everyone with email at the company?
