OSHA Recordkeeping and Reporting
(29 CFR 1904) and the Definitions the Exam Tests (1926.32, 1926.449)
29 CFR Parts 1926, 1910 and 1904 — July 2020 edition (DBPR reference RN7); every section cited was last amended before July 2020, so the current eCFR text is the exam text · Reviewed 2026-09-21
The DBPR reference list names OSHA's "Recordkeeping Guidelines for Occupational Injuries and Illnesses" for every electrical certification, and the Business exam leans on the same rules under "Personnel Management". The rules are 29 CFR Part 1904. Learn the four clocks (8 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, February 1–April 30), the five-year retention, the first-aid list, and who is "competent" versus "qualified".
1. Who keeps records — 1904.1
- A company with 10 or fewer employees at all times during the last calendar year does not keep injury and illness records (unless OSHA or the BLS tells it in writing to do so).
- Every employer, regardless of size, still reports fatalities, in-patient hospitalizations, amputations and losses of an eye to OSHA (1904.39).
- More than 10 employees at any time in the prior year → keep records, unless the establishment is in a partially exempt low-hazard industry (1904.2). Construction is not exempt.
