An employee suffers an amputation in a machinery accident at a construction jobsite, not in a public-road traffic accident. What is the Cal/OSHA reporting classification?

Correct Answer

A) A serious injury requiring immediate report to Cal/OSHA.

An onsite machinery amputation is a serious injury under section 330(h). Section 342 requires reporting as soon as practicable, ordinarily no later than eight hours after actual or constructive knowledge; it is not a quarterly report. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/342.html
