Other Recommendations
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.
