Couple of different matters here- OSHA recordable, and OSHA reportable. An employer is required to report to OSHA any FATAL accident, or any accident that causes the hospitalization of 3 or more employees. Other injuries may be RECORDABLE, but are not reportable. If the worker has a medical restriction for more than the day of injury, it becomes a recordable. IF the healthcare provider returns the worker to duty, with "care not to aggravate the injury", that is not recordable as a day of restricted activity. If it is the employer's belief that this is NOT a work related injury, they may not be required to record it without other documentation. Do not confuse OSHA and Worker's Comp- two separate matters. If an employer believes an injury is not in the course and scope of employment, they may notify their Worker's Comp insurance carrier, or the State Industrial Commission, and contest the claim.

Is your previous employer required to give information to you on a third party that injured you while working for them if you decide to sue this third such as their name and address if not how would you obtain this info?

The employer is not required to give you any information on other employees. However, if you hire a lawyer to sue the third party, the lawyer can be subpeona which would make the employer release this information. Another way to obtain information on employees is through tax information that the employer is required to submit to the government. Another easy way to obtain information is to ask other employees at the company.
