The following regulations, Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses ( 29 CFR 1904 et seq.), are applicable in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Since these regulations for recording and reporting occupational injuries and illnesses are identical to federal regulations and are available elsewhere, the Virginia Code Commission excluded the text of these regulations from the Virginia Administrative Code.
