Which item is NOT listed as an OSHA recordkeeping category?

• A. Death
• B. Stock options
• C. Days away from work
• D. Loss of consciousness

Answer: (B)

OSHA recordkeeping focuses on documenting work-related injuries and illnesses and the outcomes of those events. The categories reflect the impact on the employee, such as a fatal outcome (death), time away from work (days away from work), or the need for job transfer or restriction, as well as other recordable conditions like loss of consciousness. These categories are about injuries and illnesses, not about compensation or benefits. Stock options are a financial benefit and do not describe an injury, illness, or its outcome, so they aren’t part of OSHA’s recordkeeping categories. Therefore, stock options is the item that isn’t listed as an OSHA recordkeeping category.
