New OSHA Injury and Illness Recordkeeping e-filing Requirements

From Bob Kunz:

Team,

Several members have inquired about the new OSHA injury and Illness recordkeeping e-filing requirements.  Please see this link to resource page:  https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/finalrule/index.html and this Q&A information (new e-filing requirements): https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/finalrule/finalrule_faq.html provided by OSHA.

I would encourage you to review OSHA 29 CFR 1904 to ensure that you are current on the recordkeeping standard requirement – see link: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owasrch.search_form?p_doc_type=STANDARDS&p_toc_level=1&p_keyvalue=1904.  If you have multiple locations, you may want to review: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=9652  (recordkeeping for construction projects with duration of one year or longer may separate from other establishments for recordkeeping purposes) and the definitions: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=12790 .

Here is an additional link to frequently asked questions (29 CFR 1904): https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/entryfaq.html .

I have heard wonderful comments about the recordkeeping course provided as part of the OSHA Region 1 OTI at Keene State College – see link to website and training schedule: http://oshaedne.com/ .

If you have any questions, please contact Ed Conway at OSHA or my office.

Have a healthy and safe Summer 2016.
