January 1, 2015 – New Reporting Rules

OSHA Recordkeeping

You can report to OSHA by

Calling OSHA's free number at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742).

Calling your closest Area Office during normal business hours. 55 N. Robinson Oklahoma City, OK 73102 405-278-9560

Online: OSHA is developing a new means of reporting events electronically, which will be available soon at www.osha.gov/report_online

Electronic submission of injury and

illness data

Why????

Behavioral economics tells us that making

injury information publicly available will

“nudge” employers to focus on safety.

What does the rule require? Takes effect Jan. 1, 2017

Would require employers to submit logs to OSHA only

electronically(phased in over the next 2yrs).

OSHA will have a website established by the end of the

year.

Who has to report?

Establishments with 250 or more employees in industries

covered by the recordkeeping regulation must submit

information from their 2016 Form 300A by July 1, 2017.

These same employers will be required to submit

information from all 2017 forms (300A, 300, and 301)

by July 1, 2018.

Beginning in 2019 and every year thereafter, the

information must be submitted by March 2.

Who has to report?

Establishments with 20-249 employees in certain high-risk

industries must submit information from their 2016 Form

300A by July 1, 2017,

and their 2017 Form 300A by July 1, 2018.

Beginning in 2019 and every year thereafter, the

information must be submitted by March 2.

Anti Retaliation Protection

Prohibits employers from discouraging workers from reporting an

injury or illness.

Employers have to inform employees of their right to report work-

related injuries and illnesses free from retaliation

Employer’s procedure for reporting work-related injuries and illnesses

must be reasonable and not deter or discourage employees from

reporting

Prohibits retaliation against employees for reporting work-related

injuries or illnesses.

These provisions become effective August 10, 2016, but OSHA has

delayed their enforcement until Nov. 1, 2016 in order to provide

outreach to the regulated community.
