OSHA log

Some loss cost strategies for reading the OSHA logs

Review lost days vs. restricted days. Do the lost workdays exceed the restricted workdays?

Ensure that the “days away from work” and the “job transfer or restriction days” trend toward a 50/50 ratio. This ratio can be a good indicator of effective or ineffective RTW efforts. (e.g. 120 days away from work and 18 restricted duty days demonstrates a 85/15 ratio. This can be an indicator that the employer is not returning injured employees back to work).
