Companies must maintain these records for five years and provide access to employees upon request. Reporting serious incidents within eight hours is mandatory.
Key points

Employers must also record incidents resulting in death, loss of consciousness, or days away from work. The Colorado Division of Labor and Employment may have additional state-specific requirements, so check their guidelines alongside OSHA's.
