Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find detailed information about OSHA recordkeeping requirements?
On OSHA's web site. The entire text of OSHA's official Recordkeeping Guidlines book is available in the technical links section of the OSHA site under the heading for Recordkeeping. Take me there.

Will FirstReport Lite™ work if I have more than 10 recordable incidents per year?
Not after the tenth incident.  FirstReport Lite™ will only record ten incidents per calendar year. (FirstReport™ for OSHA will handle an unlimited number of recordable incidents.)

My organization usually doesn't have 10 incidents per year. What if I start using the program, and end up with more than 10 recordable incidents?
You will need to transpose your records onto a 200 log by hand, or buy some software. (FirstReport™ for OSHA would be a good choice.)

Will the program work for more than one year?
Yes. You can keep records for several calendar years as long as there are no more than 10 recordable incidents per year. OSHA requires you to keep your logs on hand for 5 years.

What if I need to compile logs for more than one location? Can I use more than one copy of FirstReport Lite™?
No. You will violate your license if your organization uses more than one copy of FirstReport Lite™. Try FirstReport™ for OSHA. It will handle an unlimited number of locations.

Why are you shamelessly promoting FirstReport™ for OSHA in the answer to almost every question?
Giving away free software doesn't pay the bills.
