2581.62     OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR JOB-RELATED INJURIES, ILLNESSES AND DEATHS
CALIFORNIA OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT 
(Revised 12/99)

Additional work injury and illness reporting and recording is required by the California Occupational Safety and Health Act (CAL/OSHA).  Generally, all job-related injuries and illnesses must be posted on CAL/OSHA Form 200, Log and Summary of Occupational Injury and Illnesses.  A separate copy of Employer's Report of Occupational Injury or Illness, SCIF 3067 (STATE) is to be kept with the log for all entries and CAL/OSHA Form 200 is to be completed and posted by February 1st of each year.  Specific CAL/OSHA reporting and recording information can be obtained by requesting the booklet  entitled "Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements under CAL/OSHA" from the Division of Labor Statistics and Research, Department of Industrial Relations.

If the work injury or illness to be reported results in death or causes an employee to be hospitalized for more than 24 hours, to lose any member of the body, or to suffer any serious permanent disfigurement, the CAL/OSHA act requires employers to notify immediately by telephone or telegraph the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Department of Industrial Relations.  This immediate notification is in addition to sending the SCIF 3067 (STATE) to SCIF.

Telephone numbers of the Occupational Safety and Health Divisions are in the State of California Telephone Directory under Department of Industrial Relations, and also may be found on the CAL/OSHA poster "Safety and Health Protection on the Job."
