Recording or reporting a work-related injury, illness or fatality:
- Does not constitute an admission of fault
- Does not constitute an admission of an employer/employee relationship
- Does not mean that an OSHA rule has been violated or that the individual is eligible for workers’ compensation or any other benefits
These requirements do not diminish or modify in any way a Federal agency’s responsibilities to report or record injuries or illnesses as required by the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA)
