OSHA Amends Injury and Illness Reporting Requirements
OSHA’s final rule on Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses eliminates the requirement for establishments with 250 or more employees to electronically submit information from OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-related Injuries and Illnesses) and OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report). However, “the final rule does not alter an employer’s duty to maintain OSHA Forms 300 and 301 onsite, and OSHA will continue to obtain these forms as needed through inspections and enforcement actions.”
Under the final rule, covered establishments are only required to electronically submit information from OSHA Form 300A (Summary of Work-related Injuries and Illnesses) along with their Employer Identification Number.
