Additional Service — For Employers & Safety Teams

OSHA reporting that happens automatically.

Every FirstCall encounter generates the workplace injury records your organization is required to maintain — at the time of the incident, not days later when details fade.

Why OSHA reporting fails in most organizations

Delayed reporting

Injuries are documented hours or days after the fact — when timelines are uncertain, details are inconsistent, and the clinical record doesn't match what actually happened.

Incomplete records

Missing work-status determinations, unsigned reports, and gaps in exposure follow-up create compliance exposure that only becomes visible during an OSHA audit or a workers' comp dispute.

Administrative burden

Safety officers and HR teams manually collect, translate, and file injury information across multiple systems — a process that is slow, error-prone, and pulls people away from other responsibilities.

How It Works

From injury to filed record – without
a separate process.

OSHA reporting is built into the clinical encounter, not bolted on afterward.
Here’s how it flows.

Step 1

The Injury Is Reported
Through FirstCall

When a worker starts a case — via secure link, QR code, or the clinical line — the intake form captures the information required to open a workplace injury record: who was injured, when, where, and what happened. This is not a separate form. It is the same intake that connects the worker to the clinical team.

Captured at intake

Employee identity, date and time of incident, location, mechanism of injury, and initial description.

Timestamp locked

The record is created at the moment the case opens — not when paperwork is eventually file

The earlier a case is opened, the stronger the documentation. Workers are encouraged to report immediately — and the process is simple enough that they actually do.

Step 2

The Clinical Evaluation Completes the Record

During the encounter, the clinician documents the findings needed to determine OSHA recordability — whether the injury meets the threshold for a log entry, and what category it falls into. This determination is made by a clinician, not an administrator.

Recordability

The clinician determines whether the case meets OSHA’s definition of a recordable injury — based on the nature of the injury, treatment provided, and work restrictions issued.

Classification

The case is classified correctly from the outset: days away from work, restricted duty, medical treatment, or first aid only — with clinical rationale documented.

Work status

Full duty, modified duty, or time off — documented in the clinical record and reflected automatically in the injury report.

Step 3

Required Records Are Generated Automatically

At the close of each encounter, FirstCall generates the workplace injury documentation your organization is required to maintain. You don’t initiate this separately — it is a byproduct of the clinical encounter.

OSHA 301 — Injury & Illness Incident Report

The individual case record required for every recordable injury. Generated from clinical encounter data — no re-entry required.

OSHA 300 — Log of Work Related Injuries

New entries are added to your running log automatically as cases are closed and classified.

First Report of Injury

Formatted for your workers’ compensation carrier — ready at the time of the encounter, not days later.

Exposure Records

Bloodborne pathogen exposures are tracked separately per OSHA requirements, with follow-up status updated throughout the case lifecycle.

OSHA requires that the 300 log be maintained on an ongoing basis and made available within 4 hours of a request. FirstCall keeps your log current in real time — it is never a reconstruction.

Step 4

Your Safety Team Has Real-Time Visibility

The employer portal gives designated safety officers, HR contacts, and risk managers a live view of case status, recordability determinations, and outstanding follow-up items — without accessing any protected medical information.

What you see

Case status, recordability determination, work-status classification, and any outstanding follow-up items for each open case.

What you don't see

Clinical notes, diagnoses, medications, and treatment details — these remain with the employee’s protected health record.

Exports

One-click export of your OSHA 300 log for annual summary posting, audit response, or internal review.

Step 5

Year-Round Compliance – Including
Annual Summary

During the encounter, the clinician documents the findings needed to determine OSHA recordability — whether the injury meets the threshold for a log entry.

Maintained continuously

Every recordable case is added as it closes. The log is always current — available within the 4-hour OSHA window.

Annual posting support

We prepare your 300A summary for the February 1 – April 30 posting period, formatted and ready for display.

OSHA's Injury Tracking Application

For establishments required to submit electronically, FirstCall prepares the submission file in the required format.

30-year retention ready

Bloodborne pathogen exposure records are maintained separately and flagged for long-term retention.

If you receive an OSHA inspection notice, your complete case documentation is organized and exportable in a single step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions from safety officers and HR teams

It can — or it can run alongside your existing process, depending on your preference. For organizations that currently rely on manual entry or after-the-fact record management, FirstCall becomes the system of record for work-related injury cases. For organizations with existing safety management software, records can be exported and imported into your current system. We work with your safety team during implementation to configure the integration that makes the most sense for your operation.

Typically, the final determination is made by the employer (HR/safety team), but clinicians provide clinical facts and recommendations to support the decision. FirstCall supplies all required documentation to assist in making an accurate recordability call per OSHA guidelines.

Employees cannot prevent reportable work-related injuries from being recorded on the OSHA 300 log — recording is a regulatory requirement for the employer. However, we handle privacy sensitively, explain obligations clearly, and document refusals appropriately while still fulfilling legal reporting duties.

FirstCall supports documentation of exposure incidents (chemical, biological, noise, etc.) with structured encounter notes, exposure assessments, and generation of required exposure records. These can integrate with your existing industrial hygiene or OSHA recordkeeping systems.

The system supports multi-site management with centralized logging and site-specific filtering. You can maintain separate OSHA 300 logs per establishment/location as required by regulation, while viewing aggregated data at the enterprise level. Site assignment is configured during setup based on employee location or injury site.
