Safety incident investigation report redaction is the removal of personal data from a root-cause write-up linked to OSHA 29 CFR 1904 recordkeeping. The part governs how harm is logged. anonym.plus marks each name and detail on your device, so the lessons stay clear while people are shielded.
When this applies
A root-cause write-up names the hurt worker, witnesses, and supervisors. You trim those identifiers before the findings go to the wider crew for learning.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the write-up in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned interview notes.
- The tool flags workers, witnesses, and supervisors.
- Keep the cause findings and corrective actions.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean version locally.
What you need to provide
- The root-cause write-up (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the findings readable).
- Optional name map to track repeat roles.

Limitations & cautions
A detailed account can name a person through a unique role or task. The tool flags named items, yet narrative clues may remain. Read the findings before wide release.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share lessons without naming the worker?
Yes. Replace each name with a role label so the cause and fix stay clear while the people behind them are shielded.
Are interview notes scanned too?
Yes. Local OCR reads scanned notes, so identifiers in them are flagged like any other.
Is the report uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so the write-up stays on your device.
