A top attorney and former assistant secretary of labor for OSHA discusses changes to the agency's injury reporting requirements that greatly enhances injury and illness data collection from employers.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a final rule on May 11 that greatly enhances injury and illness data collection from employers. The new rule will require many employers to electronically submit information about workplace injuries and illnesses to the government, and OSHA has announced it intends to post this data on its public web site.
