Proposed Rule Change
Summary: OSHA is proposing to amend its occupational injury and illness recordkeeping regulations to require certain employers to electronically submit injury and illness information to OSHA that employers are already required to keep under the recordkeeping regulation. Specifically, OSHA is proposing to require establishments with 100 or more employees in certain designated industries to electronically submit information from their OSHA Forms 300, 301, and 300A to OSHA once a year. Establishments with 20 or more employees in certain industries would continue to be required to electronically submit information from their OSHA Form 300A annual summary to OSHA once a year. Additionally, OSHA is proposing to update the classification system used to determine the list of industries covered by the electronic submission requirement. OSHA is also proposing to remove the current requirement for establishments with 250 or more employees, not in a designated industry, to electronically submit information from their Form 300A to OSHA on an annual basis. Finally, OSHA is proposing to require establishments to include their company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA.
