OSHA to Delay Injury and Illness e-Reporting for Employers

Posted on 5/19/2017 by Roger Marks

OSHA posted a message on its website on Wednesday, May 17, that reads:
 
“OSHA is not accepting electronic submissions of injury and illness logs at this time, and intends to propose extending the July 1, 2017 date by which certain employers are required to submit the information from their completed 2016 Form 300A electronically.”


Electronic Reporting of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses  

workplace-injury.jpgFinalized in May 2016, OSHA’s electronic injury and illness reporting rule would require certain employers to submit electronic injury and illness data logged throughout the year on OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and/or 301. Click the link above for more information about what’s in that OSHA Final Rule. 

Almost immediately, the Final Rule was the subject of legal challenges from groups representing employers, including the National Association of Manufacturers.


Employer Anti-Retaliation Provisions in OSHA's Final Rule

In addition to new electronic reporting requirements, the Final Rule also included anti-retaliation provisions intended to protect employees from employer retribution for reporting workplace injuries or illnesses. The anti-retaliation provisions were also delayed (twice), but ultimately took effect in December 2016. Shortly before the new anti-retaliation provisions became mandatory, OSHA issued a guidance document to help employers comply with the new rules.

Lion - Quotes

The instructor was excellent. They knew all of the material without having to read from a notepad or computer.

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!

Energetic/enthusiastic! Made training enjoyable, understandable and fun!

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!
