OSHA has been busy this spring, issuing a number of final rules that employers must work to implement. One such rule relates to injury reporting.

On May 11, 2016, the US Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) issued a “Final Rule to Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses.” The new rule, which takes effect August 10, 2016, is an effort to update data collection on injuries. Employers will be required to submit records electronically. Collected injury and illness data will be made available online to the public on OSHA’s website (after any personally identifiable information is removed).
