OSHA Issues Final Rule Amending Regulation on Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illness

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently published a final rule amending its regulation on Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. Under the final rule, certain employers must now electronically submit annual records of work-related injuries and illness to OSHA. The final rule also requires all employers to: establish reasonable procedures for employees to report work-related injuries and illness, and inform employees of their right to report  such incidents from discrimination and retaliation.
