Have you heard about OSHA's newest change?
1
Electronic Submission Requirement: The most notable change is the mandatory electronic submission of injury and illness records to OSHA. Covered establishments are now required to submit their Form 300A summaries annually through the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) on OSHA's website.
2
Increased Transparency: OSHA aims to improve data accuracy and enhance transparency by making injury and illness data publicly accessible. This move aligns with OSHA's commitment to providing valuable insights into workplace safety.
3
Applicability to Larger Establishments: While the previous rule applied primarily to high-risk industries and larger establishments, the new regulation expands its reach. Businesses with 250 or more employees are mandated to electronically submit their Form 300A summaries. Additionally, businesses in specific high-risk industries with 20-249 employees are also subject to this requirement.
