Question
Karen Kite works in the Admissions Department at Kitty Hawk University. While leaving for lunch on Monday, she fell down the steps and broke her left arm. It had been raining outside all day and it was determined that she slipped on the wet stairs. She was seen in the Emergency Room and that is where they determined she had a break in her left arm. The physician has her out of work for 5 days (includes the day of injury). She can return to light duty in which you approved since her manager said there is plenty she can still do while on light duty. Her physician has her on light duty for 14 days.
As the Benefits Manager, you are now completing the OSHS 300 Log based on the information above. How would you answer the following?
1. How many days would you record for "Away from Work" and how many days for "On job transfer or restriction"?
Explanation / Answer
Days away from work: 4 days
You begin counting days away on the day after the injury occurred or the illness began.
Days for "On job transfer or restriction": 14 days
When an injury or illness involves restricted work or job transfer but does not involve death or days away from work, you must record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log by placing a check mark in the space for job transfer or restriction and an entry of the number of restricted or transferred days in the restricted workdays column.
