OSHA rules and regulations. The identity of witnesses will remain confidential to the extent possible. However, inform each witness that disclosure of his/her identity may be necessary in connection with enforcement or court actions. - B. The informer's privilege also protects the contents of statements to the extent that disclosure would reveal the witness's identity. When the contents of a statement will not disclose the identity of the informant (i.e., statements that do not reveal the witness's job title, work area, job duties, or other information that would tend to reveal the individual's identity), the privilege does not apply, and such statements may be released. - C. Inform each witness that his/her interview statements may be released if he or she authorizes such a release or if he or she voluntarily discloses the statement to others, resulting in a waiver of the privilege. - D. Inform witnesses in a tactful and nonthreatening manner that making a false statement to a CSHO during the course of an investigation could be a criminal offense. Making a false statement, upon conviction, is punishable in accordance with NRS 618.705 . - g. INVESTIGATION DOCUMENTATION Document all fatality and catastrophe investigations thoroughly. - 1. Personal Data (Victim) - Potential items to be documented include: name; address; email address; telephone number; age; sex; nationality; job title; date of employment; time in position; job being done at the time of the incident; time spent performing the task in which the incident occurred (on the day of the incident and overall total time/history); training for job being performed at time of the incident; employee deceased/injured; nature of injury (e.g., fracture, amputation, etc.); and prognosis of injured employee. - 2.

- · Opened in OIS at the beginning of the investigation and saved as final, even if most of the data fields are left blank, so that Federal OSHA can track fatality/ catastrophe investigations in a close to 'real time' fashion. - · Modified as needed during the investigation to account for updated information. - · Updated with all data fields completely and accurately completed at the conclusion of the investigation, including a thorough narrative description of the incident. - C. The investigation report narrative should not be a copy of the summary provided on the unprogrammed activity pre-inspection form. The narrative must comprehensively describe the characteristics of the worksite; the employer and its relationship with other employers, if relevant; the employee task/activity being performed; the related equipment used; and other pertinent information in enough detail to provide a thirdparty reader of the narrative with a mental picture of the fatal incident and the factual circumstances surrounding the event. - D. Only one investigation report should be submitted for an event, regardless of how many inspections take place. If a subsequent event occurs during the course of an inspection, a new investigation report for that event should be submitted. All inspections related to the event should be associated with the event according to OIS procedures for associating inspection activities. - EXAMPLE 11-1: A fatality occurs in employer's facility in August. Both a safety and health inspection are initiated. One investigation report should be filed to summarize the results of the inspections that resulted from the August fatality. However, in September, while the employer's facility is still undergoing the inspections, a second fatality occurs. In this case, a second investigation report should be submitted for the second fatality and an additional inspection should be opened. ## 4. Immigrant Language Questionnaire (IMMLANG) - A.
