What are OSHA's Reporting Requirements for Cancer?
Employers are required to report specific types of work-related incidents to OSHA, including cases of work-related cancer. If an employee is diagnosed with cancer and it is determined to be work-related, the employer must report the case to OSHA within 24 hours. This is crucial for maintaining workplace safety and for epidemiological tracking. The report can be made through OSHA's website, by telephone, or in person at the nearest OSHA office.
