Under OSHA's latest reporting requirements, employers must now report all

work-related in-patient hospitalizations, amputations, or losses of an eye within

24 hours of the event. The broad definitions for inpatient hospitalization and
amputation, which now includes fingertip amputations with or without bone loss,
have likely contributed to an increase in workplace incidents reports. According
to OSHA, the Agency is averaging about 250 new reports each weektaking up a
great deal of resources.
