How many days do you need to be out of work before it is recorded as a lost time on the OSHA log?

The day of your injury is not recorded as a Day-Away-from-Work.

If you are not at work on the next regular workday, then every day after your injury that you are not at work because of the injury is counted.

If you are injured on Thursday and are back to work on Friday - no lost days are recorded.

If you are injured on Friday, not normally expected to work on Saturday or Sunday, and are back to work on Monday - no lost days.

If you are injured on Friday, normally work on Saturday but your injury prevents you working until Monday - 2 days lost.

If you are injured on Friday and cannot return to work until Tuesday - 3 days lost, whether or not Saturday and Sunday are scheduled work days for you.
