Action Forcing Change
Summary: OSHA is amending the electronic recordkeeping regulation by rescinding the requirement for establishments with 250 or more employees to electronically submit information from OSHA Forms 300 and 301. These establishments will still be required to maintain the Form 300 and 301 records on-site for OSHA inspections and enforcement actions. These establishments are still required to electronically submit information from Form 300A. Additionally, OSHA is amending the regulation to require covered employers to submit their Employer Identification Number (EIN) electronically along with their injury and illness data submission to facilitate use of the data and reduce duplicative employer reporting.
