| 2014-19083 | Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses | Proposed Rule | On November 08, 2013, OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the agency's regulation on the annual OSHA injury and illness reporting requirements to add three new electronic reporting obligations. At a public meeting on the proposal, many stakeholders expressed concern that the proposal could motivate employers to under-record their employees' injuries and illnesses. They expressed concern that the proposal could promote an increase in workplace policies and procedures that deter or discourage employees from reporting work related injuries and illnesses. These include adopting unreasonable requirements for reporting injuries and illnesses and retaliating against employees who report injuries and illnesses. In order to protect the integrity of the injury and illness data, OSHA is considering adding provisions that will make it a violation for an employer to discourage employee reporting in these ways. To facilitate further evaluation of this issue, OSHA is extending the comment period for 60 days for public comment on this issue. In promulgating a final rule, OSHA will consider the comments already received as well as the information it receives in response to this notice. | 2014-08-14 | 2014 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/08/14/2014-19083/improve-tracking-of-workplace-injuries-and-illnesses | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-08-14/pdf/2014-19083.pdf | Labor Department; Occupational Safety and Health Administration | 271,386 | On November 08, 2013, OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the agency's regulation on the annual OSHA injury and illness reporting requirements to add three new electronic reporting obligations.
