The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations govern the reporting of workplace injuries. OSHA is the primary federal agency responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions in the United States. Under OSHA regulations, employers are required to report specific types of workplace injuries and illnesses, maintain accurate records of these incidents, and ensure that employees are aware of their rights and the procedures for reporting injuries.

This legislation emphasizes the importance of tracking workplace incidents to identify hazards and implement measures to prevent future occurrences. The reporting requirements are aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in workplace safety practices, thereby fostering a safer work environment for all employees.

In contrast, the National Labor Relations Act pertains to labor relations and workers' rights to organize, the Fair Labor Standards Act focuses on wage and hour laws including minimum wage and overtime pay, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act regulates employee benefits and pension plans. While these acts are significant in their own rights, they do not directly address the reporting of workplace injuries.
