The Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has published a proposed rule to revive and expand broad electronic reporting requirements for certain workplace injury and illness data, a rule that had been largely rescinded by the Trump Administration’s DOL before it went into effect. If implemented as proposed, the rule would require employers in covered industries to electronically file with OSHA their logs of work-related injuries and illnesses and injury and illness incident reports for establishments with 100 or more employees, compared to 250 employees under the Obama rule. Reported information would then be made publicly available on OSHA’s website.
