A brief description of the methodology used to track and calculate the number of recordable incidents of work-related injury or ill health :
UT Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) must accept and investigate reports of injury or illness in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations. Additionally, EHS accepts reports of "near miss" events, in which injury or illness could have happened, in order to make recommendations to prevent similar dangerous situations in the future.
Information related to the amount of cases of injury and illness that have occurred in the previous year is reported in an OSHA Form 300A, which legally must be provided upon request.
