And, in general, your "employer" is always liable for work related injury/illness. OSHA has much different reporting requirements vs WC. OSHA does not pay benefits, WC does. OSHA has some reporting mandates where there are time loss injuries, WC is always notified of injury that requires more than first aid treatment. You haven't provided enough information to tell what your situation may be. OSHA mandates pertain to "employers"... you were participating with a "non-profit"...
