    OSHA Injury and Illness Record  keeping and Reporting Requirements - Does OSHA Requirements apply for a company who provide scientific and computer application services? This also includes employees who work on customer site at Clinical and Biological Laboratories. Under NAICS code 5415, it seems to be exempt but I'm not sure if it includes service companies whose employees may work at a customer site on clinical laboratories and manufacturing facilities.

    All companies are required to comply with OHSA regulations, with a few exceptions for size and business offices. In addition, a few states like Minnesota have additional OSHA regulations beyond the federal regulations, so you may want to check your state requirements too. 
    From the OSHA fact sheet: 
    Are employers required to maintain records of injuries and illnesses?
    Yes. Most businesses with 11 or more employees at any time during the calendar year must maintain records of occupational injuries and illnesses as they occur using OSHA Form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. Such recordkeeping is not required for employers in most retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, and service industries.
