Safety Record Batch Redaction with anonym.plus

Clean a whole folder of EHS files in one local run with steady labels.

Safety record batch redaction is the removal of personal data from a whole folder in one run, tied to OSHA 29 CFR 1904 recordkeeping. The part governs how harm is logged. anonym.plus processes up to 20 files at a time on your device, with a shared map so one worker maps to one alias everywhere.

When this applies

A site keeps many logs, reports, and forms that name the same crew. One-by-one work risks drift, so a batch run applies the same rule across the whole set.

How anonym.plus handles it

  1. Point anonym.plus at the site folder on your machine.
  2. It scans each file for names, conditions, and IDs.
  3. Local OCR reads any scanned pages in the set.
  4. A shared map keeps repeat workers steady across files.
  5. Review the summary and fix low-confidence flags.
  6. Save the clean set locally.

Limitations & cautions

A mixed folder of scans and native files leans on OCR for images, so review low-confidence flags. The shared map can re-link the set if kept; turn it off when you need true anonymity.

Frequently asked questions

How does batch mode keep one worker steady?

A shared map logs each person once, so the same worker maps to the same alias in every file across the folder.

How many files can one run handle?

Up to 20 per batch, all processed locally with OCR for any scanned pages.

Does batch work upload anything?

No. The whole run is offline, so site data stays on your machine.
