Workplace injury report redaction is the removal of personal data from the records OSHA 29 CFR 1904 requires you to keep. The part governs how harm and illness are logged. anonym.plus marks names, conditions, and contacts on your device, so the account stays useful while people are shielded.
When this applies
An injury write-up names the hurt person, the condition, and any witnesses. You trim those details before the file is shared outside the safety office.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the report in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned incident page.
- The tool flags names, conditions, and contacts.
- Confirm each flag and keep the case reference.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean account locally.
What you need to provide
- The injury write-up (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the account readable).
- Optional batch for several reports at once.

Limitations & cautions
An incident account often holds indirect clues, like a rare task or area. The tool flags named items but cannot judge every unique detail. Read the narrative before you release it.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact witnesses too?
Often yes. People named in the account can be identified. anonym.plus flags the worker and witnesses so you decide what to mask.
Can I clean several reports together?
Yes. Batch mode handles up to 20 files per local run, with OCR for scanned pages.
Is the data sent anywhere?
No. The app is fully offline, so the account stays on your device.
