What it means

Workers' compensation is a no-fault system administered state by state. For occupational-health teams it means documenting work-related injuries, coordinating treatment and referrals, tracking restricted and lost-time days, and managing the case to a safe return to work — all of which connect injury encounters, the OSHA 300 Log and absence tracking.

Frequently asked

Is workers' compensation federal or state?

It's primarily a state-administered, no-fault system, so rules vary by state. Occupational-health teams document the work-related injury, coordinate care and track restricted/lost-time days through to return to work.

How does workers' comp relate to the OSHA 300 Log?

A single work-related injury can be both OSHA-recordable and a workers'-comp claim. Documenting it once in a connected record keeps the log, the claim and absence tracking consistent.
