What are OSHA's Recordkeeping Requirements for Cancer?
OSHA mandates that employers keep detailed records of all work-related injuries and illnesses, including cancer. Employers must maintain an OSHA 300 Log, which is a record of work-related injuries and illnesses. Each case of work-related cancer must be recorded in this log, including the date of diagnosis, a description of the illness, and the affected employee's job title. These records must be kept for at least five years.
