Recordkeeping - Non-Mandatory Appendix A to Subpart B -- Partially Exempt Industries | Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Starting on January 1, 2015, the following NAICS will be partially exempt from OSHA recordkeeping requirements:

Non-Mandatory Appendix A to Subpart B -- Partially Exempt Industries

Employers are not required to keep OSHA injury and illness records for any establishment classified in the following North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), unless they are asked in writing to do so by OSHA, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), or a state agency operating under the authority of OSHA or the BLS. All employers, including those partially exempted by reason of company size or industry classification, must report to OSHA any workplace incident that results in a fatality, in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye (see § 1904.39). The list of partially exempt industries is based on the 2007 NAICS codes. If an industry listed on the “Non-Mandatory Appendix A to Sub part B – Partially Exempt Industries” no longer exists in the 2017 and 2022 NAICS coding system, this would not change your partially exempt status. {See FAQ 2-3 and 2-4}.
