Interpretation regarding completion of the OSHA 101 Supplementary Record.

← All interpretations§ 1904

OSHA’s standing caveat

Interpretation letters explain existing requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. Enforcement guidance may be affected by later changes to OSHA rules, and a letter addresses the facts it was given — not necessarily yours.

May 20, 1996 Wanda Padgett Westinghouse Savannah River Company Post Office Box 816 Aiken, South Carolina 29802 Dear Ms. Padgett: Thank you for your letter dated March 18, requesting an interpretation regarding completion of the OSHA 101 Supplementary Record. Question number 18 on the OSHA 101 clearly requests the name and address of the treating physician. Employers are required to supply this information when applicable. Therefore, substitution of the name of the medical practice in place of the actual physician is not acceptable. OSHA is currently in the process of revising its entire injury and illness recordkeeping system, including the forms (see enclosed Federal Register notice). We encourage you to comment on the proposed revisions and in particular the provisions regarding the proposed OSHA 301 which is intended to replace the current OSHA 101. I hope you find this information useful. If you have any further questions, please contact us at Area Code (202) 219-6463. Sincerely, Bob Whitmore Chief Division of Recordkeeping Requirements
