Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements

Labor Department, Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Abstract

OSHA is reopening the rulemaking record to allow interested persons, particularly small businesses, to comment on the information gathered and on issues raised during the small business teleconferences that the Agency and the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy (SBA Office of Advocacy) co-sponsored on April 11-12, 2011. The purpose of the teleconferences was to gather information from small businesses about their experiences recording work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and how they believe they would be impacted by OSHA's proposed rule to revise its Recordkeeping regulations to restore a column on the OSHA 300 Log that employers would have to check if a case they already are required to record is an MSD. The record will remain open for 30 days for comment on these limited issues.
