Other Recommendations
Explore financial and recognition incentives
to support safety and OWCP initiatives.
Form a workgroup to study the Agency’s
stress-related injuries and illnesses and
develop preventive measures.
Explore ways to involve AAM in OWCP case
management, and options to adequately
resource these efforts.
Issues with Using OWCP Data to
Measure Goals 1 and 2





OSHA recordkeeping and OWCP case records have
different purposes – prevention of injuries and
illnesses vs. compensation and rehabilitation when
they occur
OWCP Form CA-1 has a box for the supervisor to
check if lost time is expected on a case
Sometimes, that is a prediction and is not accurate
DOL uses the OWCP data as a default to measure
SHARE performance.
DOL will accept OSHA recordkeeping data (Form
3900-6 in SMIS) if we provide complete data. SMIS
provides blocks for actual days lost, and is more
accurate than OWCP estimates of lost time cases.
