Type: Text Slide
Content:
A case is not recordable under 1904.7(b)(4) as a restricted work case if:
- the employee experiences minor musculoskeletal discomfort,
- a health care professional determines that the employee is fully able to perform all of his or
her routine job functions, and
- the employer assigns a work restriction to that employee for the purpose of preventing a more
serious condition from developing.
Speaker Notes:
OSHA’s policy regarding preventive transfers is explained in the recordkeeping compliance directive
(CPL 2-0.131). Under that policy, a case is not recordable under 1904.7(b)(4) as a restricted work
case if three conditions are met:
1. the employee experiences minor musculoskeletal discomfort,
2. a health care professional determines that the employee is fully able to perform all or his or
her routine job functions, and
3. the employer assigns a work restriction to that employee for the purpose of preventing a more
serious condition from developing.
