OSHA Reopens Comment Period for Proposed Rule on Employer Reporting Requirements | Practical Law
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) extended the comment period to October 28, 2011 for a rule initially proposed on June 22, 2011 that would substantially change employer reporting obligations. The proposed rule would require employers to report work-related fatalities, in-patient hospitalizations and amputations within specific time periods, and revise OSHA's list of industries partially exempt from injury and illness recordkeeping requirements.
