The July 1, 2017 deadline for electronically submitting injury and illness records to OSHA is quickly approaching. OSHA has again proposed extending the electronic submission date required of employers in listed industries or those with 250 or more employees. What’s more, OSHA is not accepting electronic submissions of illness and injury log data at this time.
On, April 3, 2017, President Trump signed into law H.J.RES.83 – Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to “Clarification of Employer's Continuing Obligation to Make and Maintain an Accurate Record of Each Recordable Injury and Illness.” This part of the 1904 Recordkeeping Rule required employers to record all illnesses or injuries that met the recordable criteria experienced by employees or former employees within a five-year past window. The rule currently states that the 300 logs and the 300A and 301 forms must be maintained and updated for the previous five years not including the current year.
IAMU will continue to monitor and update you with information about the electronic submission of records rule as it becomes available.
