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.
