OSHA 301 Incident Report redaction is the removal of personal details from the single-case form required by 29 CFR 1904.29. The form records who was hurt, how, and the care given. anonym.plus marks each detail on your device, so the account stays clear while the worker is shielded.
When this applies

Limitations & cautions
A free-text injury narrative can name a person indirectly. The tool flags listed fields, yet a unique event detail may still point to someone. Read the description before you share it.
