When must you notify OSHA regarding a workplace fatality or certain injuries?

The requirement to notify OSHA regarding workplace fatalities or certain injuries is specifically focused on significant incidents that could have broader implications for workplace safety regulations. Employers must notify OSHA within a specific timeframe for fatalities or hospitalizations of three or more employees. This is crucial for OSHA to investigate serious incidents that could reveal safety hazards and enforce compliance with safety regulations.

In contrast, notifying OSHA for any injury is not mandated, as many workplace injuries do not warrant direct reporting. Major accidents are also not limited to just fatalities or incidents involving multiple injuries, which makes that option too narrow. Lastly, while notifying OSHA within 24 hours is a reasonable timeframe for certain situations, it does not accurately capture the specific requirements regarding multiple injuries and fatalities that the original question highlights. The focus on fatalities and the hospitalization of multiple employees aligns with OSHA's objective to maintain rigorous safety standards and protect worker health.
